Bucks Series A-Z....I Traditional Cache
Smithbats: Moving this one to another I location
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

After seeing many other Alphabetical series, we decided to do our own for our corner of the county of Buckinghamshire.
The caches all vary, some are bigger than others, but none are micros and all have room for swaps.
"Ivinghoe is a village and civil parish within Aylesbury Vale. The name of the village means 'Ifa's Hill Spur' The Church dates from 1220 but was set on fire in 1234 as an act of spite against a local Bishop, and was rebuilt in 1241. For a village Ivinghoe has an unusual feature: a town hall, rather than a village hall. The village has some fine examples of Tudor architecture, particularly around the village green.
Ivinghoe Beacon, near the village, is an ancient beacon, or signal point, which was used in times of crisis to send messages across the country and is now popular with walkers and people flying model aircraft. The hill is the site of an early Iron age hillfort which during excavations in the 1960s was identified from bronzework finds to date back to the Bronze-Iron transition period between 800-700 BC. Like many other similar hillforts in the Chilterns it is thought to have been occupied for only a short period, possibly less than one generation"
The cache is located near the Church of St Mary The Virgin, however it is NOT in the grounds. The road is very busy so keep any geokids or geopets close.
