Geocache Description:

Note: This cache replaces the Metal Sandwich cache (GC3B79) which has been archived as it was no longer viable. Only the location of the final cache has been changed, but to find that you must use information from all the previous points.
A nice stroll of about 4 km in both town and country settings with many famous places along the way. You can park near the first point.

At each point you must look for a number and from that number, calculate the coordinates for the next point. Note: if you get a figure less than 100, add a leading zero. Thus 75 becomes 075

Point One (carpark): You can see three letters from here. The first and last letter together make a Roman number.
Add that number to 521 = abc
Add the same number to 691 = def

Point Two: N 59° 50,abc E 17° 38,def
The date you need here is when they renovated the avenue and pathways.
Subtract 1253 from date = ghi
Subtract 1283 from date = jkl

Point Three: N 59° 50,ghi E 17° 38,jkl
There are two dates here.
Subtract 1687 from first date = mno
Subtract 1564 from second date = pqr

Point Four: N 59° 51,mno E 17° 38,pqr
You can see a door from here.
How many "half-balls" are there round the door?
The number of "half-balls" = st
(st*7)-2 = uvw
uvw-200 = xyz

Point Five: N 59° 51,uvw E 17° 38,xyz
You can see a date from here.
Subtract 1099 from date = ABC
Subtract 1379 from date = DEF

Point Six: N 59° 50,ABC E 17° 38,DEF
Look for the house number.=GH
Divide GH by 4 = K

Point Seven (The cache): N59° 50,kKc E 17° 38,KFh
Hope you enjoyed the walk!
