This cache has been archived.

Southerntrekker: Hi There

As the owner has not responded to either my log or my colleague's previous log requesting that they check this cache I am archiving it.

Please note that once the cache has been archived, this can not be undone. This is explained in the Help Center - http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

You will need to create a new listing, put it back in for review and as long as it meets today's guidelines and no other caches have been published in the area causing a proximity problem, then it will be published.

Regards

Geocache Description:

You're looking for a small micro.

The Church in the Sea, or St Cwyfan, dates back to the 17th century, though the present structure is largely Victorian. 17th century maps show the church standing on the mainland of Anglesey but erosion by the sea of the boulder clay cliffs has since separated the church onto the island which can now only be reached on foot at low tide. To prevent the church falling into the sea, a protective wall was built around the church.
The church is perched on the top island and is situated off the south west coast of Anglesey between Porth China and Porth Cwyfan. The nearest village is Aberffraw.
The church is known locally as Egwlys Bach y Mor = the church in the sea or simply as Cwyfan, although officially it is called - Eglys yn y Mor Cwyfan Sant = Church on the Island. The church remains in use with two services a year in the summer and is popular for weddings.

There is limited parking, see waypoint.

If you come at the weekend, you may hear the cars racing round the local motor circuit on the headland, depending on the wind direction.
