From Southam, take the B4451 out through Depper Bridge. When you see the 'Great Western' pub on the right hand-side, there will be a left hand turn you need which brings you into Bishops Itchington. Turn left down either Fisher Road or Chapel Street, and continue to the bottom of the village via Poplar Road. You will the see Hambridge Road which is the road you need to turn into. Keep following this road. You will cross the line over a bridge, then soon again pass under it. Shortly after this, you will see a farm house on the right. The location is down the lane immediately opposite.
You can park opposite the farmhouse, or on the bridge itself. If parking on the bridge, please park to one side of the bridge so the farmer can pass if he needs to. You may find it easier to reverse the short distance down the lane, as turning can be difficult if you actually cross the bridge.
Stagecoach service 64 operates hourly from Leamington Spa to Bishops Itchington village, from where it would be about a 25-30 minute walk to the location.
There are a couple of shops in the village where snacks can be purchased.
Ale fans may want to try the Butchers arms in Fisher Street, or the previously mentioned Great Western.......
Shots can be taken from both sides of the bridge. Trains coming from the south can be seen a considerable distance away, which should make for good video.
