Geocache Description:


This trail can be a fairly strenuous walk which begins at Salem Chapel car park and takes in a wide variety of scenery on the way - from rolling, open Pembrokeshire landscapes to beautiful enclosed woodland, both deciduous and coniferous in Treffgarne Gorge. 

This short walk of around 2 miles is on the eastern side of the magnificent Treffgarne Gorge and follows the narrow path which meanders through the gorge above the valley floor below  

There are wide varieties of flora and fauna to be seen at all times of the year. The path passes the location of Brunel's intended rail link with Ireland which was abandoned in 1851 on account of the potato famine. 

Near Spittal Cross, just beyond a magnificent railway tunnel, there is a small car park beneath Salem Chapel where the walk begins. 

In certain geocaches there will be a little plastic bowling pin with a letter = number on, e.g. A = 3. This is for a bonus cache which is hidden somewhere within Caches that contain these will be marked with *. See GC8XAY8 for the coordinate formula. 

ALL CACHES ARE ACCESIBLE FROM THE PATH OR ARE SITUATED JUST OFF IT. GPS SIGNAL MAY BE POOR DUE TO THE TRTEE COVER!
