I visited in March 2006. I took the B2450, main road out of Leatherhead beside the River Mole. At the bottom of Gimcrack Hill, the entrance to the Thorncroft estate appeared on the left, leading to a small bridge over the river. Immediately beside the main road, a stream emerges from a culvert and flows beside the drive down to the river.
