                  DIRECTIONS FOR POPLARS FARMHOUSE

      Internetters!  It is suggested you print pages 6 and 7 to have with you to help find us.

 

Approaching from the Portsmouth direction along the A27 go straight on at the first Chichester roundabout but at the second roundabout take the A286 south from Chichester towards The Witterings for 3.5 Miles……………………………

From Gatwick it's simplest to drive south nearly to Brighton on the M23 and turn west towards Portsmouth/Chichester on the A27 and then take the A286 south from Chichester towards The Witterings for 3.5 Miles………………………..

If you are coming down the A3 from the London direction

(Heathrow Airport) you can go right down and join the A27 near Portsmouth but it means going through Hindhead and usually queuing for the lights there. Better, and twelve miles shorter, to turn off the A3 about 5 miles after Guildford onto the A286 and go through Haslemere. From Midhurst follow the A286 signs for the Witterings around Chichester to the roundabout on the

 by-pass and then a further 3.5 Miles down the A286…………

………………..After 40 speed limit and BIRDHAM village sign turn left off A286 at sign to Almodington also marked for Butterfly Gardens with brown sign.  You now have exactly 1.5 Miles to go

Pass the village sign for Almodington and continue past the SECOND AVENUE sign on right. Just after the wildfowl warning notice slow right down and immediately after a long wall and hedge with black and white road posts, look for a recessed driveway into Poplars Farmhouse on the left.  If you reach Third Avenue on your right or the left turn into Easton Lane you have passed it!
