Geocache Description:


Darnley's Folly

Deep in Cobham woods stands this Neo-Classical style mausoleum.
This mausoleum was built on the instructions of the 3rd Earl of Darnley by architect James Watt in 1786.

Parking can be found at the far end of Lodge Lane
N51.23.370 - E000.24.845

Walk down the lane until you get to Lodge farm.

Carry on down the lane, to find "B" and "C" what is the number of the Lodge.

Carry on until N51.23.423 - E000.25.149

You can now plug your answers into the final co-ordinates, which are given by:
N51o 23.B(B+C)(B-C)
E000o26.(D-B)(B-C)(A-B)


From the final co-ordinates you will be able to view the mausoleum.

When you have finished your hunt Cobham has a few pub's, I can recommend the Ship which is less than 500 yards from the parking place
