Approaching the gate

You'll see the Hall on your left. Don't go through this gate but continue along the path towards the road and the main entrance.
Continue past the outbuildings towards the gate at the end of the path. Caution - the gate opens on to a road with no pavement (sidewalk), so don't let children run ahead.
Go through the gate. The Swarthmoor Hall entrance is immediately to your left. The road isn't very busy but nevertheless look out for traffic. Overseas visitors should bear in mind that we drive on the left.
