  2. If you were heading northbound, turn right onto the B4509, else turn left, signed towards Wickwar, Yate and Wotton-under-Edge.
  3. After 2 miles, take a left at the roundabout onto the B4058, signed Charfield, Kingswood and Wotton-under-Edge.

  8. Turn briefly right onto Merlin Haven, then immediately on your left there is an expanse of gravel.  Park anywhere on the gravelled area, preferably close to The Haven.
  9. We live in the main house (Larkrise) which is attached to The Haven, so ring the bell and we will come out to greet you.

  1. Exit the M4 at Junction 18, and take a right at the roundabout onto the A46 signed Yate, Stroud and Cirencester.
  2. After 2 miles there is a set of traffic lights; take a left (filtering around the traffic lights) onto the A432 signed Yate and Chipping Sodbury.

From Oxford

  1. Take the A40 west from Oxford.
  2. Roughly 1 mile the other side of Burford, take a left off the A40 towards Bibury onto the B4425.
  3. Continue for about 15 miles on the B4425, through Bibury and Barnsley, and eventually to Cirencester.
  4. Once at Cirencester, follow signs to "The South West" to navigate around Cirencester’s ringroad. You're aiming for the A429 and A433 on the other side of Cirencester, towards Tetbury.
  5. Take the A429 (which becomes the A433) all the way to Tetbury.
  6. In Tetbury, about a third of a mile after Tesco on your left, the road takes a sharp left... at that point you want to carry on straight-ish, which means turning off right onto the A4135 towards Dursley / Stroud.
  7. Continue on the A4135 for 3.5 miles.  At a set of lights, go straight on, following signs to Kingscote / Wotton-under-Edge.
  8. After 2 miles you'll pass the Hunter's Hall pub on your left (in Kingscote).  After another 1.5 miles the road takes a sharp-ish right... you want to come off at that point onto the B4058, effectively continuing straight on, signposted Wotton-under-Edge (with Dursley onwards to the right).
  9. The B4058 takes you down into Wotton-under-Edge, where you join the local map at the top right.
  10. At the "monument" roundabout, turn right (signed M5, Bristol, Yate, Dursley), then take the first left (signed M5, Bristol, Yate).
  11. Continue along Bear St, past the garage on your right.
  12. When you reach the top of an incline, with a bus shelter on your left, turn right onto Westfields (the sign for Westfields is high up on a house ahead and on the right).
  13. Then proceed from step (6) of "From the M5".
From Badminton Horse Trials

  2. Continue for about 2 miles until you come to a crossroads with the A46.
  3. At the crossroads with the A46, continue straight over, taking care soon afterwards because the road narrows temporarily.
  4. Continue for just under 3 miles, straight through Hawkesbury Upton (soon after, you will pass a tower on your right), and down into Hillesley.
  5. At the war memorial in Hillesley, branch off left (with the war memorial now on your right), towards Kingswood.

  7. Take a right at the T-junction towards Wotton under-Edge.
  8. After about a mile, having passed a school on your left, you will reach another T-junction, with a sloping field up ahead.  The Haven is just above the sloping field, but to get there, first take a right at the T-junction, towards Wotton-under-Edge.
