The Wales Coastal Path is a long-distance trail that starts in Chepstow and follows the Welsh coast all the way to the Dee estuary in Flintshire. A total of some 1400km (@ 870 miles). Officially opened on 5th May 2012 it is reputed to be the first dedicated coastal path in the world to cover the entire length of a country's coastline.
At Chepstow it links up with the Offa’s Dyke Path (another 285 km) that follows the Wales / England border all the way up to Flintshire to complete the ‘loop’ around the whole of the country.
At Mathern to the west the WCP leaves the Caldicot levels and moves away from following the coastline firstly entering the local golf course (see GC8RAHR) to then cross the farmland around the parish of Mathern. Passing St. Tewdric’s Church (GC8M7BH) and the ancient Innage farm (GC8RCAW) is traverses the farmland to the Newhouse Farm Industrial Estate just south of Chepstow where this cache is located. The path is well marked and quite broad at this point with more distant views of the Severn Estuary.
This cache is placed just off the Wales Coastal Path and can be done as a 'cache and dash' if you so wish or in conjunction with the other caches along the WCP including the final locations for the multi-caches in the Chepstow Heritage Series! As always please be discreet at the cache location as there can be a lot of traffiic to and from the various industrial units. Please replace the cache securely.
