Car Park amongst the trees in Micheldever Wood. From Winchester take the A33 then turn right whilst travelling along the dual carriageway section, towards Northington at the new (but not that visible) church standing where the Lunways Inn once stood. After about 1km pass under the M3 motorway and then after another approx 0.3km turn left into the car park amongst the trees.
