Treworga is a small hamlet on the beautiful Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall. It has no facilities such as a shop or pub or church - it was originally a small collection of agricultural cottages serving the local farming community. Today it is a cluster of permanent residences, retirees and holiday lets.
However, it does have a Fine Pair - indeed the pair could not be much closer together. In common with many others in the area, the old red phone box no longer has a phone in it but it has been adopted by the community and contains a defibrillator.
The Cache

F= The digit on the left-hand yellow rectangular plate before the letter S
