Detailed directions
From the M1 take junction 36
Follow A61 towards Sheffield to the Tankersley Premier Inn roundabout
Take the 3rd exit A616 towards Manchester
Come off at the first exit signed to Wortley
Follow road round onto A629 turn left to Wortley which is the next village
(From Sheffield on A61 take the A629 signed to Huddersfield then…)
As you enter the village there is a sharp bend to the right between the church and the Wortley Arms pub. Indicate right.
On the next bend to the left, turn right into Park Avenue.
Go down past the farm shop on your right.
At a large Chestnut tree the road splits. Take the left hand road named The Avenue.
Keep going straight, through a stone gateway, under trees, until you can see the hall ahead and take the turn to the right around the side of the hall buildings with the hall now on your left.
Drive towards the arched building (The Stables) you can see ahead and just before you get to it turn left and park anywhere on that short area up to a gate.
It is no longer possible to walk through the Stable Arch but you can walk round either side – a level (but in some place cobbled route) is to the right, turning left into the courtyard of the stable block. Opposite the arch is a pair of green gates which should be open. (If they are closed we are not there yet!)
Through the gates is the walled garden. Walk straight up the path until you come to the gap in the central wall and turn left through the gap.
Alternatively, walk to the left of the stables and up the peace walk until you get to the formal entrance to the walled garden in the wall on your right where there is a small step up.
Straight ahead of you are the entrances to 3 poly tunnels. There will usually be someone around in this area. Welcome!
