Turn left soon after onto Rowhook road and drive along until you come to Honeywood House nursing home at the top of a hill on your right. Turn left directly opposite this onto a concrete road and go through a green electric gate.

Turn left opposite these and drive down a tarmac track across a field until you reach the lakes carpark.
