St. Ann's Hill is a pleasant woodland area near Chertsey, with a great variety of deciduous and evergreen trees. There are many paths through the trees, and some nice views, though regrettably the noise from the nearby M3 and M25 motorways is ever present.
The cache takes you to St. Ann's Well (also known as The Nun's Well), not far from the ruined St. Ann's Chapel. The "fine spring water" in the well is no longer quite so fine!
The well is at the listed co-ordinates, but I have made this a multiache because there is a geocaching.com cache not far away - the final location is far enough away for the two caches not to be mixed up.
Is the roof of the well domed or flat? If flat then A=8, if domed then A=9.
On the left as you face the well, there are a couple of bricks missing. How many courses of brick are below the missing bricks? If 3 courses then B=4, if 6 courses then B=5, if 12 courses then B=6.
If the bed of the well is predominantly mud then C=6, if it is pebbled then C=7.
The final location is at N51 23.AAB W000 31.C(A-B)(C-B)
