Church Micro 11401...Tretire Traditional Cache

An addition to the popular Church Micro series of geocaches, at the church in the tiny hamlet of Tretire. A bit in-the-middle-of-nowhere the hamlet is about 4 1/2 miles west of Ross-on-Wye and 6 1/2 miles north of Monmouth on the B4521. This can be done as a cache and dash if you want.

The Church

The church is dedicated to St. Mary and is set in a peaceful and relatively remote position. Rebuilt almost entirely in 1856 to consist of a nave, chancel, a small south-facing porch and a small polygonal stone bell turret there isn't a lot else to say about this church. Inside is simple, yet pleasant and there is a rather attractive eastern window depicting the Last Supper, two angels and the Lamb of God. Also there is a comparatively large organ for the size of the church. Certainly a place to get a bit of peace and quiet!

The Cache

Parking is up a small, clearly-signposted, grassy track where there is really only room for one or two cars with minimal room to turn and the cache is a small container with room for small swaps only.
