Lambhill, Bride

Bride (Manx: Bride), named after St Bridget, is a parish in the Sheading of Ayre and lies in the extreme north of the Isle of Man. The parish lies to the east of Andreas and to the north of Lezayre,bordering the sea to the north and east. The parish covers an area of about 9 sq miles and contains the village of Bride or Kirk Bride. The population, according to the 2006 census, is 418 (2001 - 408). There is a range of sandhills crossing the parish from west to Point Cranstal (not actually a point) in the east, from which a good view may be obtained of the Manx mountains as well as of the Scottish and Cumbrian mountains (with the Solway Firth in between). The Galloway coast is about 18 miles away. At the Point of Ayre is a 100 foot lighthouse. On old maps Point Cranstal is referred to as "Shellag Point" and a hamlet named Cranstal is marked close to it, but has long since disappeared.

The cache is located on a lane in the village, signposted 'Lambhill', and should be a relatively straightforward find. It is not surprising why the area has this name! The lane is essentially single track and the only suitable parking is at the waypoint identified below. The cache originally contained a log book, pencil, ftf badge, geocoin and small swaps.
