IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THIS SERIES, PLEASE CONTACT THE SERIES OWNER (SEE BELOW)
We are often told (correctly, if somewhat ideologically), that geocaches should take us to somewhere "interesting", and not simply be placed just for the sake of it. The aim of this series is to try and adhere to this ideal by basing caches around details given on an Interpretation Board about the area in which it is situated. By definition, it is hoped that this information will be "interesting", and will help the cacher discover things about the area that would often not be revealed by a traditional cache.
Placed because I like this place and the sign gives some interesting background on the church.
I strongly recommend you do GCH4X1 Faith no more? (Beds) while you are here - a lovely 20 year old cache.
Today Segenhoe church is a roofless ruin, lying some way south of the village in a site just east of the Eversholt Road. Segenhoe was the parish church of Ridgmont until 1st November 1855 when the new church in the High Street was consecrated.
To find the cache, you will need to look at the interpretation board at the published coordinates.
I apologise if you need the toilet. There are no public toilets on site. Nearest toilets, the Red Lion Public House, near the Church ABCD m by road or EFG m by p[ath
[FYI:the Red Lion closed in 2004!]
The cache is at N 52° 00.(E+F)DF W 000° 34.(B+C)(A-B)(A+B)
Checksum = 33
