Geocache Description:


This cache is part of a series of caches which are placed at or near village halls and community centres. For details and statistics visit the Village Hall Series website Click here


The village of Burrington looks out over the Taw valley. Burrington VillageIt is 4 miles north west of Chumleigh and 12 miles south of Barnstaple. The village is approximately 540 feet above sea level, which means you can see both Exmoor to the north and Dartmoor to the south.

The first village hall was opened in December 1930 alongside the Comrades Club, an ex-army hut erected and opened in 1922 for ex-service men and parishioners to play skittles, darts, billiards etc. In 1943 the hall that had been built in 1930 and the adjoining Comrades Club was totally destroyed by fire.

A second and temporary corrugated asbestos hall was erected after the war and was then replaced by the present hall. Over the years several extensions have virtually doubled the size of the hall and adding further facilities. 

Located either side of the entrance door to the hall are 2 inscribed stones inlaid in the wall. To find the location of the cache gather the following information from these stones.....

This stone was laid by................ on AB October CDED

The cache is located at:

N50 56.C (E-A) B    W003 56.C D (D-A)
