Geocache Description:


This cache has been placed with the permission of the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority and is placed along the footpath running along the south side of Llangorse Lake.

This cache is placed near an inventive information sculpture. To hear the audio information from the large wooden damselfly sculpture first turn the top dial to the information programme you want to hear in either English or Welsh, next keep turning the bottom handle until sufficient charge is generated to automatically start playing your selection. If you change your selection part way through you will have to charge it again before it will play.

The meadows between here and Ty Mawr wood to the east just past the bird hide are wild flower rich meadows that can be alive with butterflies, damselflies and dragonflies during the summer. For more information about how these meadows are managed and the wildlife they support please visit Caeau Ty Mawr These meadows can get boggy during the winter months so appropriate footwear is advised.

It is possible to walk to this cache along the footpath from Llangorse or Llangasty but it is not possible to complete a circular walk of the lake and disturbance to wildlife should be minimised by respecting the no-access land to the east of the Llangasty car park and St Gastyns Church. The footpath regularly floods at the far western end of the lake during the winter and is normally impassable. Parts of the footpath are boardwalked however some parts are uneven. This cache should be accessible year round if approached from Llangasty. A public toilet is located at Llangorse Common on the north side of the lake as well as a café and the Welsh Crannog Centre. It should be noted that livestock graze in the fields the footpath passes through so dogs should be kept under control at all times.
