bishop_pam visited on 29th Apr 2023 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 4 Access: 3 It’s possible to go via Tee 2 of the golf course then over a stile, but there’s also a broken gate opposite a field entrance, which can be scaled. The stone is behind Riverside Cottage.

Andy B visited on 23rd Aug 2016 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Park opposite second tee of golf course. Head over to tee and over to the right. Over a tiny brook and again head to the right. Just off the golf course in a field. There is a very helpful stile for access.
