Sat Nav Users
- The postcode alone SY7 8QX will take you to the farm entrance for Three Birches which leads to the range.
- Beware! If you attempt to approach from the Wrexham, Oswestry, Welshpool road A483/A490 on Sat Nav alone it will probably take you down some “Unsuitable for Vehicles” tracks. They aren’t joking either, even with a 4×4.
