Grass verge parking on Chalk Hill. If travelling from King's Somborne, take the road to Ashley. Turn left, just before entering Ashley, sign-posted to Up Somborne and continue for about 1km before turning left into Chalk Hill (no roadname sign). Please park entirely on the grass verge as the road is quite narrow. Please note, the postcode will take you to the northern end of Chalk Hill, whereas we are starting closer to the southern end.
