Geocache Description:

This cache is located in a nature reserve overlooking the edge of Bath. It is suitable for children (some steep slopes so be careful) and dogs. Lovely views, good location for a picnic.

Brown’s Folly is located in a nature reserve near Bath. The nature reserve has a wide variety of flora and fauna, lovely views over the valley and old mines which were used for mining stone for the building of Bath (no longer open).

The Folly was built in 1845 and more details are available at this web site.

You can park at co-ordinates: N51°23.759', W02°17.521'. There are no other facilities at this car park. An Ordnance Survey map for this location is shown at this web site.

The cache is an ammo box. Please ensure that it is well covered when you leave.

The difficulty of this cache reflects the tree cover. If you use the hint then the difficulty becomes 2.5. This cache can be difficult to find and needs considerable determination. The number of "not-found" logs are happily exceeded by people who have found it (or returned and found it), but don't expect it to be easy!
