Strand
Westbury-on-Severn, Gloucestershire
The best place to park is at Westbury-upon-Severn; there is a layby by the Westbury Gardens.
Walk past the church and turn left along Bell Lane. This takes you to a footpath which then leads to the house/field seen in the story. The lane is just through the gate by the house.
Access: publicStatus: recognisable Strand Lane
