How to get here

• By road
  We’re located on the Oxfordshire/ Warwickshire border just off the A44
• By public transport
  By bus - Stagecoach number 50 (Chipping Norton – Stratford Upon Avon) passes within 1⁄2 mile.  However you’ll need to ask the driver to stop for the Stones.  Alternatively, get off at Long Compton and there is a nice, but steep, walk up the hill - a permissive footpath brings you out near the Stones.
