🚗 Parking
Limited on-street parking is available near the site. Please contact us in advance if you require specific parking arrangements. There is a car park in the village next to the park, and we are a 10 minute walk from there.
🚌 Public transport
Buses are as rare around here as intact framework knitting workshops, unfortunately. The nearest bus stops are in Bonsall village centre, and there are 2 or 3 buses a day. From there it’s a short walk to Yew Tree Farm.
