Getting There

What Three Words: crackles.palace.spare

The course is approximately two miles from Junction 6 of the M40 in the direction of Chinnor. There will be black and gold signs to the course from the M40 and in Kingston Blount village. For SatNav, use postcode OX39 4SG.  We do not recommend you leave the motorway at Junction 5, as the route down Kingston Hill is both narrow and steep.
