Road directions
From M1 Junction 18:
Head towards Kilsby. When you reach Kilsby you come to a roundabout, here you need to take A5 turning to Milton Keynes. After a short time, you will see a left hand turn to Watford. Ignore this, and continue down the A5. After crossing the canal, you need the second entrance on the left, signposted 'Ryehill Lodge'. This is a public bridleway. Follow the track to the gate by the bridge (remembering to shut any previous gates which you may have opened!)
Parking
You can park just before the bridge, or if a vehicle is already parked, go back and park on the other side of the next gate.
Amenities
Nearest amenities are at Watford Gap service station. Easy to get to as the crow flies, but only access is via the M1. You can find a Thai restaurant in Watford village itself. The 'New Inn' which is not much further south on the A5 is highly recommended for its good food, and for having Northamptonshire ales on tap!

Photographic notes
The 'Classic' Watford Gap shots can be taken from both sides of the bridge. Good afternoon Northbound shots can also be taken from the field. Simply walk a few yards down the edge of the field until you get a good visualisation. Steps are recommended for this shot due to vegetation.
