Ludschurch
There is a place, strange and dark, on the moor
Down deep in a chasm, secret, forgotten
Rocks, mud-black and brown, mossy and wet
Winter rotten lichen and sodden fern
The ancient stones are icy and rough, hanging
With icicles, jousting lances of winter
Determined grass, clinging in frost’s contortions
Fighting away from the earthward summit
Echoes, of you, editions, of you
Whispering through a gap created by ice
Time frozen for the millennia of man
Bones lie under this peat; And people
From ages past, came to worship, wonder
At this church, without a steeple
Look up to the bitter sky, God’s heavens
Scowling through an empty, godless place
Away from the towns, unfortunate’s blood
Sacrificed, here in the miserable gloom
Sheer walls of wet rock their dumb witness,
Their screams are sealed silently in stone
Smell the black-sand floor, islands of bracken
Where blood once fertilized the earth
Ludd and his congregation linger on
Ancient Ludschurch in ghostly song

We parked at Roache End and followed the path, but there's various ways of getting to Ludschurch. It's a spot of history and legend, connected to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight amongst other rumors, myths and folklore.
You'll find that once inside you'll lose the GPS signal for a while but there is a signal near to the cache. For this reason you're probably best using the additional spoiler.
Please hide the cache well, as muggles will pass within inches of it!
If you haven't been to Ludschurch before, you're in for a surprise!
