Directions
From junction 12 of the M3:
Turn westwards following the signs to Chandlers Ford. This will take you, via a roundabout or two, back over the motorway to a roundabout signed to Ampfield. (These are all within a very short distance around the junction).
Take the Ampfield exit, Holcombe Road, and follow it to the cross roads at the end (about a mile or so). Go across the junction into Hook Road. At the end of Hook Road turn left at the T Junction by the Hotel (again about a mile) onto the A3090.
After about half a mile, having passed the church and then school on the right, you will see Knapp Lane on the right, immediately past the War Memorial. Turn into Knapp Lane. The Den can be found directly in front of you by going into the first drive on the left, Birch House. Parking and the stairs are to the right of the building.
By Public Transport:
From either Winchester or Romsey Stations catch the 66, x66 or SW Trains buss service to Ampfield. Get off at Ampfield School. Knapp Lane is by the War memorial and village school. The Den is in the grounds of Birch House which is the first on the left in Knapp Lane.
