From the A6 head straight through the village of Warton, then look for a small picnic site on your left next to a footpath which is next to a house.
Go up the steep rocky path. Turn right over a stile in a wall next to a gate, there is a small map pointing out the three brothers, it wont help much, but it is reassuring to know your in the right place.
Take the second left clearing off the path, look for white cliffs, the brothers are above here.
Hope that helps, perhaps not.
The three brothers are three large boulders in an almost straight line on a bit of limestone outcropping, some think they have been moved into position by our ancient brethren.
They are currently, more overgrown than in previous years, especially since my first visit ten years ago.
