St. Constantine Traditional Cache

Constantine Constitutional

This series of caches are based in and around the village of Constantine, including Bosahan Woods. If you do all 7 caches as a walk, it’s just over 2.5 miles, but most of them can be done as a ‘Cache n dash’ You could also add other caches in the area to extend the walk.

Constantine is one of only two places in Cornwall to have a church dedicated to St Constantine, the other being near Padstow, and nobody really knows who St Constantine was.

Most sources suggest that St Constantine is likely to have been a chieftain, prince or king in the 6^th Century.  He is said to have been a violent man, but after his conversion became a monk and a missionary.

The church was built between 1420-1480 but there is evidence of an Iron Age settlement, and it is thought that the church is built on an ancient mound on top of the remains of a Celtic monastery.

The cache you are looking for is a small plastic bottle.  There are houses nearby so you'll need to be fairly stealthy.
