Bells are one of humankind's most ancient instruments—some Chinese examples date back more than 3500 years. You'll find bells in many shapes, sizes, and forms, and there are just about as many ways to ring them. The English developed their own style back in the 17th century, called change ringing. They must also have developed a good sense of humor over the centuries, judging by the names of towns & villages:
| Long Itchington |
| Dorking - Helions Bumpstead |
| Blubberhouses |
| High Offley |
| Frithelstock - Dummer |
| Upton Snodsbury - Ickleford |
| Frisby on the Wreake |
| Ugglebarnby - Irby upon Humber |
| Pidley + Diddlebury |
| Nether Wallop - Beercrocombe |
| Martyr Worthy |
| Weston under Lizard |
| Scrooby - Bugthorpe |
| Giggleswick in Craven |
| Nempnett Thrubwell |
As of 5/5/23, I had to make a slight change to the puzzle due to changes in England; puzzle solution/coordinates have not changed.
The puzzle solution will take you to the first stage of a multi-cache—a woodland walk of about 1.2 miles total. Keep your eyes open and something may strike you along the way.
For parking, add .007 to the north and .185 to the west.
