Directions To Magazine Wood       

 

Magazine Wood cannot be directly located on a car's SATNAV, most systems will however get you to Magazine Cottage, a building at the top of the hill on the outskirts of the village that looks like an old chapel but is in fact a gunpowder magazine built in the 17th century as a defensive measure during the Civil War.

Magazine Cottage is at the entrance of the small lane on Peddars Way that leads directly to Magazine Wood.

Turn right here onto the Sedgeford road, in the village the road goes past the war memorial followed by a sharp left hand turn out towards Docking.
