Geocache Description:

Situated on a walk around the Llys-y-Fran reservoir which is one of pembrokeshires prime landmarks. This is a superb family walk round the reservoir but due to some of the inclines is not really suitable for those who are less able bodied. Cycling is good but then so is taking the dog for a walk. This is a popular place so watch out for muggles!

The cache can be found during a circular walk through the Llys y Fran Country Park round the reservoir. The park is a few miles south of the Preseli Hills section of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, between Wolf's Castle to the West, Llandissilio to the East and Haverfordwest to the South West.

The Park provides opportunities for fishing, a circular walk and an off road cycle route (7.5 miles), against the backdrop of mature woodlands and open grassland that surround the reservoir. The reservoir itself is a 212 acre man-made lake, which supplied most of Pembrokeshire’s drinking water. It is the largest game fishery in South West Wales with mixed rainbow and wild brown trout. Both National and International fishing competitions have been held at Llys-y-Fran lake. The fishery is open for both fly and bait fishing and it is regularly stocked from on-site rearing cages.

Parking at the site can be found either as you enter the park at N 51° 53.041 W 004° 50.041 or on the other side of the Dam at N 51° 52.883 W 004° 51.366.

There are many places on the walk to stop and have a picnic or that cuppa if you have a flask!
