Geocache Description:

A picnic event at Tyneham

May Day Picnic Join us for a picnic on Bank Holiday Monday at the lovely deserted village of Tyneham Date: Monday 6th May 2013

Time: 12 - 3pm

St Mary's Church, Tyneham

Tyneham village was evacuated in December 1943 for military training during the second world war and the village has been deserted ever since, but many of the buildings survive and the church (still used for occasional services) and the school now house excellent exhibitions about the village and villagers. Please note that the exhibitions in Tyneham school and Tyneham church are open from 10am until 4pm when the village is open to the public.

Tyneham Village

A short walk (1 mile) from the village leads to the spectacular Worbarrow Bay which is part of the Jurassic Coast.

The village, bay and the Lulworth Ranges are now managed by the Ministry of Defence and therefore access is limited

Geodogs are welcome, provided they are kept on a lead. The church and school are wheelchair accessible.

Please note. It is important that you adhere to any MOD warning signs around. This is a live firing area so please exercise extreme caution and do not stray into areas not designated fit for public entry. Particular attention to this fact is drawn to cachers with young children and geodogs.
