It is very dramatic and easy to see from the A46, but there is no convenient place to leave the car. Best bet is to drive down the narrow lane opposite, park where you can and walk back.
Note: Singing Landscapes and barrows as the inspiration for folk music, including two free MP3 tracks to download
