    • From the M1 junction 9 (Moira roundabout): Follow the A26 for almost a mile; turn left for Soldierstown Road then follow the B105 out of the village for almost a mile; the car park is on the left just after the hump back bridge.

      Take care when driving from the car park due to limited road visibility.
