Getting Here

Bladbean is approached via single track lanes from all directions so please don't travel in anything larger than a minibus, and if visiting on an NGS open day, please approach from Stone Street/Stelling Minnis and leave via Elham/Barham to avoid the frustration of reversing due to on-coming garden visitors.

Satnav will bring you to the right place, otherwise drive east through Stelling Minnis, turn right onto Bossingham Road, then follow the yellow NGS signs.

 The map below shows which lanes to take when heading east out of Stelling Minnis:

 Take the route below when leaving  to return to civilization via the A2 or M20:
