Geocache Description:

Follow the Industrial Trail in Loggerheads Country Park to the summit.

For this cache you must imagine yourself transported back through the mists of time to the sixth century AD. You are riding alongside King Arthur through the rugged countryside of North Wales, the wind in your hair. All is good until you see a group of invading Saxons hot on your heels. You spur on your horses and are making ground but then . . . you find yourself at the edge of a cliff. Arthur undeterred makes a gaint leap and bounds from the cliff to make a clean escape.

The imprint said to be that made by Arthur's horse's hoof as it jumped can be see at the boundary stone, Carreg Carn March, N53 09.324 W003 11.612. Start your walk at this point.

From the road begin your journey by entering through the gate continue along the woodland path to the industrial trail at marker number 11. Just behind the marker is a stone marking the old town boundary for Mold.
