Directions From the West:-From the Sparkford/Queen Camel roundabout, head east on the A303 dual carriageway and after the turn off for Yarlington, be aware of the next turn off signed for Holton. Exit here, go down the slip road and almost immediately turn left up a narrow lane. At a grass triangle, turn left (signed Higher Clapton Farm), ignore the ‘Not suitable for motor vehicles’ sign and continue past farm houses and buildings. Last year we parked opposite a long log store. That may be blocked off by a barrier – If so, park in the open yard on the left.
From the East & South East:-From the Wincanton joining point on the A303 head west to the next exit, signed for Blackford & Compton Pauncefoot. On turning off the dual carriageway, turn left immediately, signed for Holton. This road runs parallel to the A303. Go for about 1 mile to a X roads, turn left under the A303 and then jinkright & left (signed for Higher Clapton Farm) up the narrow lane and follow the directions above
