Geocache Description:

The cache is located in a natural cluster of limestone rocks. Many of these rocks support Yew trees that are hundreds of years old. There are also a number of deciduous trees amongst these rocks and together with many ferns, mosses and wild flowers this makes the area one of natures most wonderful rock gardens. The area is in the middle of a pine forest, planted 30-40 years ago.

Park at N52 51.859 W003 07.760, which is passed the Pen-y-Dyffryn Hotel at a fork in the forestry track. The walk is about 1.5 miles in total, with one short hill! Take the left forestry track and walk up to information point 1 keeping to the left.(Here there is a visitors book which you may sign.)Continue on the right hand track to IP2 (information point 2). Then take the path on the left towards the spindle tree. The cache is located to the left of this path.
After visiting the cache continue along the path to the exit of the 'Wild Walk'. Turn left to return to IP1, or turn right up to the cliff walk (Craig-y-Rhiw) to enjoy, magnificent views. You can then do the circular walk which will add an extra mile onto your walk.
The cache is a medium-sized plastic box and the original contents are,
'Bug' TB,
Post-its,
Pack of 16 Crayons,
Toy Car,
Weatherproof Matches,
Godetia Seeds,
Emergency Whistle.
