We are located just off the A66 trunk road, equidistance between the A1 and M6. Be aware that in our exposed location, at times, snow can shut the A66, and we have found snow chains invaluable at times in the last 2 winters - if you are comng at Christmas and New Year, it may well be wise to get a pair. For up to the minute details of the road situation, look at Traffic England.
