From central Berkhamsted go up Gravel Path. At the top, turn left through Potten End. Follow the road as far as it goes to the Leighton Buzzard Road (A4146) and turn right towards Hemel Hempstead. You’ll pass the Red Lion, then Anthony Betts cars and we are the next building on the right.

Come out of Harpenden through Hatching Green past The White Horse. Follow the road to the A5 and turn left towards Hemel Hempstead. Follow this road into Hemel and across numerous roundabouts until you see the Marchmont Arms on your right. At the next roundabout turn right on to the A4146 towards Leighton Buzzard. We are half a mile on the left past Hillier’s Garden Centre after the 40mph sign and the speed camera (beware!)
