The entrance is a little tricky to find unless you're coming from Sawmills as it's located in the carpark at the Excavator pub but there is two ways to do it, one at the front and one at rear each one being little more than a gap in the hedge, it does however get a little muddy at the pub end in winter as it not as well surfaced as the rest of it
