Directional Notes

Leave Belper along the A6 north towards Matlock and proceed through the village of Ambergate. Shortly after passing The Hurt Arms public house on your left hand side, take the next right hand turn onto Chase Road. Proceed up the private road where number 7 can be found on the right hand side. In the first instance, as there is no turning space on Chase Road, we suggest that you park at the bottom of Chase Road by the bridge and take the short walk up, enjoying the lovely surroundings as you go!
