 To find it:-  Take the main A3 south from Guildford, leaving at the Thursley/Bowlhead Green junction (shortly before the tunnel), then follow Bowlhead Green sign left into French Lane and approx. 1 mile until the small green.  Turn left into Lower House Lane and follow until the end.  Alternatively, take the A 286 from Milford to Brook, then follow Bowlhead Green signs, turning right at the small green.  Both ways are very narrow roads, please take care!
