For satellite navigation the postcode area is CT4 5DY but you are not normally directed the easiest route by satnav, so we recommend you follow our directions instead. Try not to go past the field as it is quite difficult to turn round for quite some distance with a caravan in tow. Directions from Dover - Take the A2 from Dover towards London (M2). - At the roundabout drive straight over continuing on the A2 to London. - Carry on straight over two sets of traffic lights on the A2 to London. - Turn off the A2 signposted Bridge and turn right off the slip road. Follow straight over the crossroads and follow the Bridge signpost, turning left to Bridge (a left turn just when you think you are driving back up onto the A2!) - Drive down the hill, through the village and start to go up the hill the other side. There are two zebra crossings – one within the main village and a second one as you start to go up the hill out of the village. Continue up the hill and immediately after the second of the traffic calming islands which jut out on the right as you go up the hill, you will see a crossroad sign. Turn right here towards Patrixbourne, Littlebourne, and Howletts Wild Animal Park (picture of an elephant). - Continue to follow the road for about half a mile - At the mini roundabout bear left and follow the animal park signs (picture of an elephant) - After a quarter of a mile (immediately after going under a railway viaduct), turn left into Bekesbourne Hill (be careful: at the beginning this is a very narrow lane) - Follow that road up the hill. In about a quarter of a mile, look out on your left for a road mirror on the entrance to a house on your left, then a road warning sign indicating old people crossing the road. The field entrance is between these 2.. - When you see this sign pull over to the right . You will now be in the right position to enter the field.

The entrance is a bell mouth with inset gate so you can pull off the road completely before opening the gate. The hedge along the road is not cut back for a very good reason - it provides seclusion.
