Geocache Description:

One of a pair of extra caches set in the Lambourne area linked to the Lambourne Loop Series.

No longer a bonus, but enjoy the walk regardless.


Lambourne Loop Extension – Fallen Ape

Small 450ml cliplock containing a small variety of goodies with a Halloween theme.

The coordinates given are accurate to about 18’.

The Lambourne Loop

The Lambourne Loop is about 3.5miles starting and ending at Lambourne Church (park at the Church N 51° 38.656 E00° 08.085).

Lambourne Church itself is well worth a visit click here for Lambourne Church history and click here for Lambourne Church photos. There are some interesting brasses at the front of the Church at the top of the nave near the alter rail on the LHS, although these are generally covered by carpet these days (ask permission, or be very discrete if you have a peek).

Look at all the monuments to the Lockwood Family inside. There is also a very old painting of St Christopher on the right hand wall believed to date from the 14th century, partially over painted in 16th century.

If you’ve driven here, it is probably best to drive down to this one – although a walk down Church Lane is possible.

Head along Church Lane back towards the main road. The best place to park is opposite The Elms (N 51° 39.192 E 00° 08.390, there is a footpath sign on the RHS).

Walk along the path towards Ape’s Grove. You’ll encounter the cache shortly.

There is another cache in the vicinity.

If you continue along the path you’ll end up in Abridge.

Return back the way you came.
