From the A31 at Picket Post 2 miles to the east of Ringwood, take the road signposted "Burley Services" (although they mean Burley and Services). Follow signs to Burley. This will lead you south through the village of Burley Street and into the village of Burley (please mind the ponies and cows on the road! - thank you). As you reach the centre of Burley, marked by a war memorial outside the Post Office the road bends sharply to the left and then to the right up School Hill towards Brockenhurst. At the top of this small hill you will see a green signpost on the right hand side for Highcroft. Turn right carefully onto a forest track and proceed with caution. After about 100 yards, the track splits into 3. Follow the centre track until you pass over a cattle grid and arrive in the front courtyard of Highcroft. Please use the main door, where you will be welcomed after your journey.
