The posted coordinates will bring you to one of six plaques in the footpath around the outside of Comber Square. Each plaque depicts something for which Comber is famous. Your task is to walk around the Square and fill in the information from each plaque to obtain the final coordinates.
Parking is available in the town or you may wish to arrive by public transport. Please take care while crossing the road to the Square and don't forget your pen and tweezers! There is a statue to Rollo Gillespie and a number of information boards around the Square.
