This is the first in a series of caches at what is known locally as Keepers in Brecha Forest. It's a stunning piece of woodland with a beautiful clear stream running through it. A wonderful place to bring children to introduce them to the wonders of nature.
Brechfa Forest is the modern name for part of the ancient Glyn Cothi Forest.
Glyn Cothi Forest was managed for centuries by local people in order to provide building materials, products and grazing.
In 1283, following the final defeat of Wales by Edward I, Glyn Cothi became a Royal Forest administered under Forest Law for several centuries.
Since those days a very different forest has developed. In the 1900s Brechfa Forest was replanted with conifers by the Forestry Commission to boost Britain’s timber reserve after the heavy use of timber in the First World War.
Placed in accordance with NRW public rules that allow geocaches on their land.
