Keep in the left hand lane to go over the River Avon and follow A3400 towards Shipston & Oxford, after about 3 miles turn right signposted to Wimpstone, follow the lane go over the narrow bridge and when you reach the crossroads turn left at the telephone box and Whitchurch Farm is about 250 yards on the left hand side out of the village of Wimpstone.
