Road directions
The location is off the A423 which runs between Banbury and Coventry, and is about half way between Banbury and Southam, near Fenny Compton. If travelling from Banbury, you need to take the first right into Claydon before you reach Fenny Compton. If you are travelling from the other direction, you need to take the second left 'after' Fenny Compton.
Once you have passed under the railway bridge, you will soon reach the village. You need to look for a left hand turn called 'Crossing lane'. If you reach Fenny Compton Road, you`ve missed it!
Parking
Drive to the bottom of Crossing lane, and there should be enough room for 2-3 cars. Ensure enough room is left for people to turn their car. It would not be too enjoyable reversing all the way back to the top of the hill!
Public transport
Local bus company Geoff Amos operates the 510 service which makes 3 trips from Banbury, Monday to Saturday.
Amenities
A cup of tea can be had at the Bygones museum in Claydon, and there are a couple of good pubs at nearby Fenny Compton where you can also get a good meal.
Shots can be had in both directions, and from both sides of the line, although early morning southbound workings are best here, particularly when the sun is out. From late mornings, the sun is on the wrong side for any real decent shots.
