From the A38 in North Petherton, please either take 'Old Road' or 'Watery Lane' which will wiggle around an s-bend, go all the way to the end and at the T-junction turn right, you will shortly get to a T junction- turn left, which will take you up Dancing Hill. Continue up this road for approximately 1.5 miles until you see a sign post on your left taking you into the parking field.
