DIRECTIONS!!

If you are coming from Junction 24 M5, take the A38 into North Petherton, take the right hand turning on to 'Old Road' which will then lead onto 'Dancing Hill'. Continue on that road until you come to the lorry park field on your left.

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.

*For those in big lorries, it is recommended to take Old Road whichever direction you are coming from, as its a wider road!
