Directions:
From Stow-on-the-Wold:
Take A429 towards Moreton-in-Marsh. Ignore the first right turn to Broadwell as you leave Stow. About 1 mile further, turn RIGHT to Broadwell at the Broadwell/Donnington crossroad. Aston House is the first house on the left, half a mile from the main road.
From Chipping Norton:
Take A44 from Chipping Norton. Turn LEFT on to A436 to Stow-on-the-Wold. About 2 miles turn RIGHT to Broadwell, soon after passing the left turn to Lower Oddington. Go straight through Broadwell and through the ford - Aston House is directly ahead - but do take care crossing at the sharp left corner (look left) and crossing Kennel Lane (look right, and left!).
