There is a 'Castle Head Field Centre' sign :
Follow the track to the centre.
Google tells me it is 46 miles from M6 J31
(Salmesbury) to Castle Head and should take 50
minutes - but then it will be Friday rush-hour so
allow time for getting on the motorway (especially
if trying to get on at Broughton junction).
Google also tells me it costs about £9 in petrol (or
£6 in a ‘compact’ car) - one way!

Getting There!
M6 to J36 then left onto A590
At first junction go left (Barrow A590)
At large roundabout go left (Grange-over-Sands B5277)
When you reach the 30 speed limit signs ...
... you take the next left immediately before the cottage (it looks likes their drive!)
DON’T turn too sharply - the first part of the junction (immediately after the ‘LINDALE’ sign) is a gateway into a field!
