Springfield Farm is located off Ventura Park Industrial Estate. Once you turn into the industrial estate, drive straight for 150 yards and as the road bends 90 degrees to the left, stop your car: you will see a bridleway right in front of you with a 'Private road. No access' signpost. Drive onto this private road, over the railway bridge and keep to the left. Follow this road to the very end where you will see a large manor house. Please park up in the grass car park to the left and call us. Your instructor will come and greet you.
