Folly Gates, Brookmans Park, N Mimms, Hertfordshire. The arch now stands at the junction of Swanley Bar and Hawkshead Road at the southern end of Brookmans Park/Gobions Estate. Even at close range large, well established, trees make it only visible from almost directly in front. There is no access into the estate and many more trees mean the arch is no longer visible from the village.
