The “Three Shires Stones” are actually a relatively modern construction, consisting of three enormous vertical blocks supporting one horizontal block. It was constructed in 1736 at the boundary between three counties or “Shires”, and according to the current map (somewhat surprisingly) this is still the boundary point.
You can park in the gateway at N51°25.667', W02°17.700', or there is a layby ½ mile down towards Bath. Beware of fast moving traffic on this road and use the grass verge when walking to the cache location. The road which runs past is the Fosse Way.
Please practice Trash Out when you visit this location, it could do with our help!
