How To Get There

Directions from M61 – Junction 8

Exit M61 Junction 8 and head East towards Blackburn At traffic lights, turn right heading towards Chorley. Carry on over several roundabouts for a couple of miles to the end of Eaves Lane. At the roundabout, bear left down the hill at Cowling Brow. At the next mini roundabout, bear left, over the canal and past the Spinners Pub. At the bottom of the hill, the road bends sharply to the left, keep going and then just before the bridge and the Black Horse at Limbrick, turn left onto Back Lane Go under the motorway bridge and keep on to the top of the hill, where the site is easily spotted at the next bend.

Caution: If using SatNav use PR6 9DL as the destination but only switch it on when you have exited the M61 and are on the A roads, otherwise, it is likely to tell you that you have arrived at your destination when you’re between junctions. Also, some SatNavs don’t recognise our post code so try the next nearest one which is PR6 9EE
