The cache is a small cliplok box and is hidden in the church car park at the top of a steep lane up from the village. You do not need to enter the church grounds or graveyard to retrieve the cache. Co-ordinates may be a little out due to tree cover. Please feel free to e mail me more accurate ones if appropriate.
The village itself consists of typically pretty Cotswold stone cottages with a remarkable number of the properties have tree houses in their gardens. The village is famous for a report of a meteorite which fell nearby on 4th August 1835.
The church of St. Bartholomew at Aldsworth is set on the western outskirts of the village. The church dates back to late Norman times and is remarkable for its Norman and Perpendicular elements and 14th Century tower and 15th Century spire. Aldsworth's spire, which is very rare in the Cotswolds, can be seen for miles around. Three rare 15th Century bells, formerly a "ring" but now hung as a "chime" call churchgoers to regular services. More information regarding the church can be found in the Village Hall Heritage Room.There is a great collection of gargoyles around the roof of the church.
