There are two alternative routes on the A685, either by turning right just past the Church at the foot of the hill in the centre of the village and continuing along the lane before turning left at the crossroads after the railway, or by turning right approximately a mile south of Grayrigg, signposted 'Docker', taking the first left opposite a farm. Continue in a north easterly direction, passing the viaduct on the left and take the first left after the viaduct. At the crossroads continue straight across and Meadow Howe is just after Hardrigg Farm on the left hand side.
