This is a straight forward multicache adjacent to Crispin Comprehensive School and Strode College. There is plenty of space for parking in the nearby roads. Park in the School/College car park at your own risk. On your arrival at the given co-ordinates you will see a negelected 'archway'. This is where you will obtain the answers to questions required to work out the co-ordinates for the cache.
But first some details about the folly, thanks to 'PurplePenguin who did the research:
According to Somerset Follies by Jonathan Holt, the folly is a Doric portico, which once stood at the head of a flight of steps leading to the front door of Westcombe House located between Frome and Bruton. The house was demolished in 1956 and Stephen Clark (of the Clarks Shoes family) dismantled it and moved it to Street at a cost of £833.
As the area is in frequent use I have decided it would be better to make this a multicache, hopefully making the final location more muggle proof.
Please note that currently there is construction work at the start of the footpath (Trailhead)that will take you to the folly so at the present it could be more convenient to walk through the School/College car park.
Calculate the co-ordinates to resolve N51 07.9AB W002 43.6CD whereby:-
A = Number of Round supporting columns divided by the number of Pseudo columns on back wall
B = Number of Steps up to landing multiplied by the number of rain water spouts
C = Number of Pseudo columns on back wall minus One
D = Number of Steps up to landing minus number of Round supporting columns
Parking is a available close to the final stage but if you wish to walk it is not too far from the folly. Take care when on the road as it can get busy. Stealth required. It is not recommended to do this cache at night as water is close by.
