Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates, but all the information necessary to complete this multi cache can be seen while standing on the pavement outside the impressive gates. Please DON'T block the entrance as it's a busy residential care home. The gates are also near a crossroads junction so take care.

Davenham was built around 1860 by the Perrins family of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce fame, although it's now an upmarket private residential care home for elderly people. The house and grounds have many interesting architectural features, accessible only on special open days, including a large underground grotto with fake stalactites carved from real stone. The easiest features to see from outside the walls are the prominent white clocktower, best viewed from the Common, and the large wrought iron gates next to the lodge house at the entrance on Graham Road. 

The final cache is at N52° 07. A B (A+A)' W002° 19. (C-A) A A'

A = number of dragons on the roof of the lodge house by the gate.

B = number of large five-petalled flowers on the front panel of the gatepost (to the left when facing the gates).

C = number of thistle heads on the front panel of the gatepost (to the right when facing the gates).
