A short circular route around Kingsweston House suitable for all.
The cache is hidden within Kingsweston House estate. This area is open to the general public and there are numerous foot-paths throughout the estate. It replaces the previous Kingsweston House cache which was in place for several years but has now been updated and converted to a short multicache.
I suggest parking off Shirehampton Road at N51 29.470,
W2 39.832.After waypoint 1 walk past the very large rock blocking the entrance. Continue on the same path through an avenue of trees with Kingsweston House straight ahead.
At N51 29.476, W2 39.804 :- A phone number is shown here. What are A and B if number is 01179A2371B ?
At N51 29.630, W2 39.762:- What are the total number of horizontal, vertical and diagonal iron struts making up the framework of the kissing gate ?
No. struts minus 2 = C
At N51 29.678, W2 39.694 :- How many letters in the type of tea room ? Let this be D.
At N51 29.684, W2 39.650 :- From this point how many urns can be seen on the top of the House ? Answer = E
At N51 29.629, W2 39.622 :- How many sets of windows( ie window frames not window panes ) can be seen on the middle floor of the House ? Answer = F
At N51 29.556, W2 39.487 :- How many small pillars "support" the top of the structure. Let this be GH.
At N51 29.514, W2 39.605 :- Patent number 4470JK is shown here. What are J and K ?
The final cache is located at N 51 AB.(C-A)(D-C)F, W 2 KB.(J+H)(G*3)(E*2) (where * represents "multiplied by".)
Kingsweston House was built in 1712 by the architect Sir John Vanbrugh who also designed Castle Howard and Blenheim Palace. It`s original use as a private house has changed several times. During the 1st World war it was a hospital for wounded soldiers. During the 2nd World war it was requisitioned by the War office. It then became a school, and later a Police Training centre. It is now in private hands and used for conferences, themed evenings, medieval suppers, weddings and receptions, charity balls and lunches etc.
Do not approach the main entrance at the top of the steps if there is a function taking place. There is a tea-room (open until 4pm) at the entrance facing the River Severn.
