🗺 A WARNING ABOUT SAT NAV’S
The crucial thing to remember is that you can only access the museum via Twinwood Road, which in turn can only be accessed from a roundabout on Milton Road in the village of Clapham.
Please study a traditional map before setting off, and do not blindly trust your sat nav! The only truly reliable way to get your Sat Nav behaving nicely is to input these
latitude/Longitude numbers:
N52.1692492 W0.5049295.
These co-ordinates will take you to the Milton Road/Twinwood Road roundabout, and from there up to the Twinwood Road for just over ½ mile and you will see the museum entrance on the right.
