To arrive at start point - on the A48 through Blakeney and as you go up the hill out of the village look for a right hand turn signposted Parkend, Coleford and Go Ape. After approx. 1.2 miles you will see the green forestry sign of Wenchford parking clearly on your right-hand side. Drive in here over the narrow bridge and turn left. Parking is along here by a small building.
