In the village of Falkenham, fairly easily accessible with buggy/wheelchair access possible to within a few feet of the cache, which is big enough for small swaps and TBs.
St Ethelbert's Falkenham is typical of many a rural Suffolk church, with significant parts dating back to medieval times but subject to progressive modernization, particularly in the Victorian era. Its a truly classic example of ecclesiastic architecture and together with the churchyard, it's a place almost impossible to beat for a sense of timelessness and tranquility.
If you want to more know about the church itself, its clergy and village, we strongly recommend the history and guide book available within.
After the miles of country lanes to get here (and back as you can't go any further), it's hard to believe that Falkenham is geographically only a stones throw from the bustling metropolis that is Felixstowe.
Church and tranquility aside, the crowning glory of this cache is the view from the east end of the churchyard - big Suffolk skies, marshes, the River Deben and in the far distance, Ramsholt. Unforgettable.
If anybody would like to expand this series please do; I would just ask that you let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
There is also a Church Micro Stats page found via the Bookmark list
Well done to DJWX for FTF.
