Bow Street Circular is a series of caches that go around the hillside to the left of the village and give stunning views around the mountains to the east. On a clear day you can see the wind farms as well as a number of mountains and if you are lucky Snowdonia to the north.
"Bow Street is a large village in the Tirymynach district of Ceredigion, Wales, approximately 3.5 miles (5.6 km) north-east of Aberystwyth. As well as Bow Street itself, it is now often considered to include the neighbouring smaller village of Pen-y-garn and the hamlet of Rhydypennau. All three places stretch in a long narrow strip along the main Aberystwyth to Machynlleth road, the (A487).
Bow Street is also a post town, and as well as covering the villages of Bow Street and Pen-y-garn and the hamlet of Rhydypennau, it also includes the nearby village of Llandre and the hamlets of Taigwynion and Dole, together with the surrounding farms."

The Bow Street Circular is a series of 11 caches that go around the hillside to the left of the village and give stunning views around the mountians to the east.
On a clear day you can see the wind farms as well as a number of mountians and if you are lucky Snowdonia to the north. The walk goes allong a marked route, but you will have to climb styles, open AND CLOSE gates, and dodge live stock.
It is suitable for kids, I took my 7 and 4 year olds out on a walk to place this series and it took around 2 hours, and my pedometer logged around 4 miles.
There is a castle at the top of the hill near the cache; 'enter the woods' is a field up the bank that used to have a motte and bailey castle on the site, although it does appear to be entirely ruined now.
