Getting here

By car: A287, three miles past the second roundabout. Look for the inflatable kangaroo (it advertises the garden centre, not us). Park in the gravel area at the back. Mind the geese.

By train: Farnham (3 miles). Bus 18 will get you within 1.4 miles. The remaining walk is via a footpath that is "boggy in winter and bull-occupied in summer".
