Satellite Navigation

IMPORTANT: please note that if you are relying on your satellite navigation system to get you there, please set the destination to postcode SS12 9GP, which will take you to a point in Tresco Way, Wickford, close to the roundabout at the Public Entrance to the Park. Left to their own devices, some navigation systems will otherwise direct you to a private farm track, which, though it does cut through the Park, unfortunately, it by-passes the public carpark and leaves you stranded between two locked gates!!!!
