Geocache Description:

The Cache itself is a small sealable container just big enough for the odd Travel Bug. It contains a small logbook; you will need to take a pen or pencil with you. GPS signal can be a little misleading but you should be able to find the cache with a little patience.

Parking can be found at - N53 00.738 W003 01.536

Bonc yr Hafod, Hafod Community Park is situated on the former Hafod spoil heap. Thousands of trees have been planted on the site to make Hafod one of the largest community woodlands in North East Wales. Wrexham Countryside Service has recently taken over the management of the site.
Hafod covers nearly 90 acres and includes a large hill, known locally as Picnic Mountain. A network of paths takes you to the top of the hill where there are spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. On a clear day the views extend to the Peak District.
A designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, the area has several ponds that provide a home for the endangered Greater Crested Newt. It is also home to the skylark, which is threatened with extinction, Hafod provides the perfect habitat for its survival.
Further information on the location can be found at the link below. (visit link)
