From Ruthin: Take the A494 towards Mold through Llanbedr DC. After two sets of tight bends on the hill, our right turn is about ½ mile ahead—approximately 20 metres after the second right-hand layby.

From Mold: Take the A494 towards Ruthin. Around 3 miles after Llanferres, pass over Clwyd Gate and look for a left turn about ¼ mile ahead. If you reach a layby on the left and a road bend, you have gone too far.
