This tablet faces north, but is just south of the roundabout. There are a few caches around here, including a virtual. Parking is the hardest part so I suggest you park at a local restaurant or hotel. If you have more than a few people in your vehicle, I suggest you get out and they wait somewhere. The plaque says "This is true north. Magnetic north is 13° 7.5' to the east. 2002"
