--------------------------

From the South West (the Toll Road route)

Go all the way up the M5, join the M6 north, and carry on up to junction 11. Come off here and follow the signs for the M6 toll road. This will cost £4 but will really save you some time. Stay on the toll road for about 11 miles. Come off on the A38 north to Burton on Trent, and Derby.

From the South West (the non-Toll Road route)

Head up the M5 to Junction 4a (the M42) and follow the M42 for just over 26 miles to junction 9.

From West London and from the Oxford area.

Head west/north up the M40, and at (I think) junction 17, get on the M42 north. Anyway - it's the junction after 16, signposted for Birmingham airport and the NEC. Stay on the M42 for 15 miles, and get off at junction 9.

From M42 Junction 9

At Junction 9, follow the A446 signposted to (I think) Lichfield. There is y are building a new bit of motorway here, so this junction is currently very messy, but you should go past the Belfrey hotel and golf club within a mile or so of getting off the motorway.

About 5 miles later you get to a large roundabout (Bassett's Pole) turn basically right onto the A38 probably still signposted to Lichfield. This is dual carraigeway.

A further three and a half miles and you cross the A5, and a mile later turn right at another big roundabout staying on the A38 now signposted to Derby.

All Routes

About 25 miles up the A38, you get to the Derby bypass (heralded by a 40 mph limit), stay on the A38, and you will get to a roundabout with an Esso garage and a McDonalds. This is the A52 - go straight over staying on the A38.

Within 400 yards, there is an exit to Kedleston Hall (among other places) which you ignore.

About a mile further on there is an exit for the A6 to Matlock. Come off here, and take the second exit from the roundabout signposted A6 to Matlock.

In a couple of miles you come to Duffield, and half a mile after the Duffield sign there is a set of traffic lights with a left turn, the B5023, signposted to Wirksworth, which you should take.

This takes you out of Duffield into the country, and just over a mile after you leave Duffield, you come to the Puss in Boots (set back from the road on the left), with a right turn opposite it signposted to Hazelwood. Take the right turn.

You go immediately over a small bridge, and then a larger one. On the left are three or four houses together, which you ignore. We are about 100 yards further on.

As you come round a gentle right hand bend, there on the left are the "Knowle Farm" and "Duck Pond View" signs in green, and the entrance is just past the signs. The house is set back from the road with a gravel drive - and there is an old street light by the gate.
