Geocache Description:



An interesting little church on a remote peninsula in western Donegal but not so remote that Donegal airport is just over a kilometer away.

The full name of the church is St Andrew's Chapel of Ease and is of the Church of Ireland denomination. Information on the origin of the church in this location was quite difficult to obtain - however it seems that the original Church of Ireland people came from Bute in Scotland. Named Boyd they were shipwrecked on the nearby coast in the 1770s - the Boyd name lives on in several families the area to this day.

A drive down this road (just follow the sign posts to the airport and keep going) will lead to a number of outstanding beaches and views across to Derybeg and Bunbeg harbour.

You do not need to enter the church grounds to access the cache which can be accessed from the road - a convenient car park for 2 vehicles is close to GZ.

The Church Micro IE series is open to everyone; if you have a church you would like to place a cache at then please contact THE_Chris through Geocaching.com. This is to keep track of the numbers of the churches and give you the general format for the cache page.
In the UK there are ~3500 caches in the series so we have some catching up to do! Also, if you currently have a published cache at a church that you would like to include in the series, get in contact and we can add it."
