The grave was hard to find - but it's worth it!
A path begins in the bend below Wideford Hill - There is a small car park here. The path leads a little downwards to the grave. It's lonely there in the wasteland - a little scary - there's a hole in the ground with a hatch to slide and a lock.
Don't forget the flashlight!Access to the chamber is now through the roof. The original entrance, which is in danger of collapsing, is blocked. Spacious side cells branch off inside the main chamber.- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wideford_Hill_chambered_cairn

There is a flashlight in a box at the grave that you can borrow for your visit.
