This cache is for the 12th in the series and can be found near St. Bridget's; the parish church of Bride. 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.

Bride Parish Church

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.

Parking is available in the village carpark (see coordinates below) within clear view of the church. Please replace the cache exactly as found, and as usual, WATCH OUT FOR MUGGLES!

Happy caching!
