From the Sheffield direction, take the A6187 towards Hope. About 1km after the A6013 turns right towards Bamford, there is a road on the right signposted towards Thornhill. The bridge is about 200 yards up here.
You can park on the lane after the bridge.
It would be a long walk (maybe 30 minutes) from Hope station. Turn left onto the main road and head towards Bamford, turning left towards Thornhill.
First Bus service 272 operates from Sheffield to Bamford, Hope and Castleton, every 1/2 hours.
How ever it is a much shorter walk from Bamford station (12 to 15 mins) than from Hope. Turn left on leaving the station. Turn first right into a minor road. Turn right at the end of this road onto the A6187 road. Ignore a footpath sign marked Thornhill, and continue on the main road until you see Thornhill Lane on the right.
The light is best until early afternoon for trains heading east, though you get limited warning of their approach. After this the light favours looking east, where the view is more restricted.
