Take the third exit continuing through Barnards Green leaving the commercial centre where, after a few hundred yards, fork right onto Poolbrook Road. Continue along this road for some distance, passing common land on both sides of the road. Carry on for almost a mile to the traffic lit crossroads adjacent to the Three Counties Showground.
