the M40 to its end. Then take the M42 West, towards
the M5, and the M5 Southbound. Leave the M5 at Junction
6 (Worcester North) and follow the A449 to Worcester
to a roundabout. At the roundabout follow A449 signs
to Worcester (not Kidderminster). Remain on the A449
into Worcester. Pass through traffic lights at the park
after one and a half miles. After about 200 metres you
should pass the Swan Pub on the left. Turn left approximately
200m further on (there is a signpost but it is often
pointing towards a wall in the wrong direction). Follow
this road to the ground.
