The cache can now be found a short distance away. You DO NOT have to go into the church grounds for any information or for the cache. Sorry not accessible to wheelchair users or pushchairs.
The cache can be found by a footpath a short distance away. With your back to the church you can turn right and walk along to the stone stile. Well, it used to be a beautiful ancient stone stile, but the council in its wisdom has decided to replace it with a new wooden gate; or turn left then walk or drive turning left at the roundabout. Both ways lead toward the cache.
***If anyone would like to expand this series please do, I would ask that you could let Sadexploration know first at churchmicro@gmail.com so he can keep track of the church numbers and names to avoid duplication. There is also a Church Micro Stats & Information page found via the Bookmark list***
