PEDESTRIAN INSTRUCTIONS:
The walk from Watchfield Post Office is around 0.9km. Facing the post office, follow the main road (High Street) that leads left and head north. After 250 metres, the road ends in a cul-de-sac and an opening within a wooden fence. Pass through the opening and follow the tarmac path that leads immediately left, until you reach a crossing point with a traffic island. Cross the main A420 and follow the opposite tarmac path to the right, then turning left on to the B4508, until the path ends. Cross over the B4508 here to a gate on the opposite side. Pass through the gate and bear left to follow a well-trodden path that heads in a north-west direction, keeping the trees that line the B4508 on your left and the perimeter of the crop fields close by to your right. Follow this path for around 500 metres, until you reach the main gated vehicle entrance for Westmill.
