One of 5 caches on a circular walk around Stradbroke. This 2km walk (approx.) will take you around a lot of the village. Most of this route is on tarmac roads, but small sections do use public footpaths around fields that may require more specific footwear at certain times of year!
You are looking for a MAGNETIC NANO CACHE with logbook. Bring extraction tool and pencil.
A map of most of this route can be found at:

The churchyard in the centre of the village reached its present size in about 1871 when under the direction of John Charles Ryle, some cottages within it on Church Street were demolished at the same time as the Church was being substantially refurbished.
Soon afterwards a field on the Laxfield Road was purchased and consecrated. A chapel was built and the cemetery has been used for Stradbroke burials ever since.
A few years ago it seemed that it, in turn would become full but the growing popularity of cremation rather than burial has slowed down the need for so many full size plots.
During the spring there is a fine display of wild flowers, especially cowslips, ox-eye daisies, yellow rattle and in some years a splendid display of green-winged orchids.
The north-east corner is now reserved for the ashes of those who prefer to be cremated.
(P.S. Those who found this before it changed to a logbook have had their names added already)
