Reed. About 1.1 miles north of Buckland, turn right (east) along Church Lane and park in the north end of the layby by St Mary's church. There are no church services that day, but if we fill the layby, there are a few spaces on the verge in the next turning on the right - Driftway, or further up Church Lane.
