Location of Building
The Centre is on the left hand side of the A229, Hawkhurst Road, from Maidstone and Cranbrook, heading south towards Hawhurst. Past the turning for Cranbrook, you will pass the Angley School on the right. You have 1.5 miles still to travel. The road rises steadily to the houses at Hartley, peaking at the left hand junction signposted ‘Tenterden B2086’. There the road dips sharply and almost immediately you pass the right hand junction (with Glassenbury Road, the B2085) signposted ‘Goudhurst/Tun.Wells (A262)’. 150 yards further on, the next turning on the right is a small, unnamed, tree-lined country lane where you can park. It is opposite a number of houses, including a small modern housing development. Park on the right hand side of the lane. Do not park close to the junction. This is a HGV turning space. Having parked, cross the main road and turn right. Approximately 150 yards down the road (passing Westfield Terrace) there is a gap in the hedge with concrete steps and a handrail leading down to the Centre (see main photograph). There is no street lighting. A torch is advised!
