Please be aware of the following:
Due to local authority restrictions it is some years since we have been allowed to rally at this venue.
Not all routes to the farm are suitable for towing caravans, and some may cause problems for yourself and also cause issues with local residents.
The village of Ashford should be avoided. Ideally Heanton Punchardon should also be avoided.

- Following MROC signs, after the end of the dual carriageway turn 2nd right into Limekiln Lane
- At the top of the hill turn left at the crossroad
