If coming from the Evesham (M5) direction use the A46 and B439 and turn right through Welford on Avon. Do not turn off this road, which will take you through to Long Marston village. Drive straight through the village and keep going to Bridge Farm, just before the railway line.
From Stratford, take the B4632 beyond Long Marston Airfield and turn right into Station Road. Go to the end of this road and turn left to Bridge Farm.

Drive past Bridge Farm, over the railway to where there is very limited parking by the sign on the right. Do not be tempted to partially block the road as some heavy and agricultural traffic uses the road and your car will get damaged. If the ground is wet, be careful how far off the road you pull as you may slide into the ditch.

There are buses from Stratford - a No.27 does a circular route past the bridge but I do not know if they would stop in the right place. It is not a long walk from the village anyway.

There are no nearby facilities but Long Marston village has a good pub and village shop. There is also an excellent cafe/restaurant at an antiques centre at the far end of Station Road.

There are Bed and Breakfasts both in Long Marston and Welford on Avon.

The light is best for incoming trains in the morning and outgoing around lunchtime. Decent shots of ingoing trains can be taken in the late afternoon although this path is very rarely used. The light is all wrong for outgoing trains in the afternoon. The road bridge is the only location apart from a public footpath crossing the branch a few yards to the south. There is no access to the site itself. It is not especially good for video as the line has a low speed restriction and the road can be busy. Shots of trains in the exchange sidings can be taken from the bridge but a lens of around 200mm, for digital users, is required.
