The Church
St Anne's is one of three churches in the parish of Calstock. Consecrated in 1880 to serve the large village of Gunnislake.
St Anne’s parish church in the village of Gunnislake in Cornwall sits atop a craggy steep valley and has a most commanding view of the beautiful and stately River Tamar below. Gunnislake is located on the Cornish side of the valley and has a long history of churches with the first being built in the village around 1206.
The Church is a very large granite structure built on 3 levels with an unusual short bell tower over the main entrance at the north west corner of the building on the same level as the main road through Gunnislake. The very large East wall overlooks the Tamar Vally and is accessed from below on Calstock Road.
The Cache
Parking is available in the village Pay and Display Car Park - see waypoint coordinates - which is only a short walk away.
During the day time you may be able to park adjacent to the cache or even in the church's own car park which is situated near the cache on Calstock Road.
The cache is wheelchair accessible.
The cache is a small plastic tube approximately 7 cms long by 3 cms diameter wrapped in camo tape.
It is hidden under a small stone to stop it falling from its hiding place - please replace carefully.
There are great views across to the Tamar Valley to Chimney Rock.
The location is overlooked so please be stealthy.
You may require tweezers to retrieve the log. Please Bring Your Own Pen (BYOP)
The cache is not recommended at night.
