Travel 

We ask people to get here and get home under their own steam - we can’t coordinate lifts and car sharing from the office but you can amongst yourselves or on this Facebook event.

The nearest train station is Bamford. The number 222 bus goes from the Station to Fairholmes which is less than one mile's walk to Lockerbrook.
