Its about 0.8 mile from the train station, best route to avoid getting lost is to head west down Standy lane, for about 200 yards then north to Victoria Road (its a main road) along that until Purbeck Ave, turn down that and at the far (west) end theys a cut though and it backs on to it., see the street map and aerial view.
