The car park is towards the bottom of the town centre. Coming from the south head in to Axminster on the main A358 and after passing under the A35 bridge you will start to enter a built up area which is Axminster.

Passing up a short hill the road turns sharp left and then sharp right then drops down to a roundabout. Take the third exit to the town centre.

The car park is just up the hill on the right where the entrance is just before the substantial trees there.
