Geocache Description:

'Remaining Ruins' is a set of caches which will be added to over time as new locations are unearthed. Scattered across the country, huge amounts of ruins lie tucked away, off the beaten track where nobody goes. Many of these amazing places already have their own caches, but the remainder from Bucks & the surrounding areas which we come across, will be placed in this series. All these locations were once much loved places, which people would regularly visit. This series will aim to give you the chance to visit these locations once again, after all, they were never built to sit in isolation & decay. Many sites of this nature are very much derelict and weathered so please take care to look after them & yourselves when visiting. Also make sure to take a second to read any information on site. You may be suprised to see just what you pass by everyday, without paying it a care in the world!

The third cache in this series, will take you to all that remains of Ackhampsted Chapel which can be found close to Lane End and Stokenchurch in the heart of Buckinghamshire. It is easily accesible from the M40.

The cache is placed next to the remains of Ackhampsted Chapel. Chapels such as this were built for ease of use and prayer to neighbouring Manor houses and farms within its vacinity they were not used for large ceremonies such as Weddings but more for day to day prayer and service.

Nearby Lane End houses a much larger Church with a Tower and Bells my only guess to the loss of this chapel is the bigger Church taking much of its so called custom, all that remains of Ackhampstead Chapel nowadays are its foundations and an eery cross remembering the once much used small place of worship.

Parking Co-Ordinates should be used at: N51 36.753 W000 50.345 Parking here makes the cache a nice short stroll and is where we parked when placing the cache. We hope you enjoy the walk and hunt.
