Geocache Description:

Cache number 1452 in the Church Micro series is St Paul's, Rusland. Note that the original micro is now within a larger container as the micro kept being dislodged.

This cache forms part of a series forming a short circular walk (approx three miles) around the tiny hamlets of Force Forge and Force Mills. It is recommended that the circuit be extended slightly into a figure of eight by taking in the nearby cache at The Strands - a very picturesque location but you may have to get your feet wet!

Please note that if doing the full circuit, the path may be muddy and slippery in places.



Arthur Ransome, the author of ‘Swallows and Amazons’ and many other books is buried beneath the Corsican pine in the south-east corner of the churchyard. Admirers and devotees make pilgrimages from all over the world to visit his last resting place.

Also among the graves in the churchyard will be found several of the family of George Romney, including those of Mary, the famous painter's wife, and the Rev'd John Romney his son. The artist himself was buried in Dalton-in-Furness churchyard.

St. Paul's stands on a rocky eminence and commands spectacular views of an extensive valley. The valley itself is enclosed by well-wooded hills embracing jutting crags, heathey washes and meadow land, all watered by streams which ultimately join the Leven, a river rising from Windermere.

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, but please let sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
