Road Directions

From the village of Grindon take the road towards Wetton and Alstonefield. After approximately 1 mile you drop down past the reserve (on your right) into the Manifold Valley. At the left-hand bend, and before you cross the river, there is a car park on your left. To enter the reserve face back the way you have come and cross the road to a stile.
