    How to find us

    Upper Wharf,
    Frome Road,
    Bradford-on-Avon
    BA15 2EA

    From the canal: We are immediately above Bradford Lock no 15 on the right. If coming up you can wind to the left of the dock to be in the right position.
    By road: From the centre of Bradford, take the Frome Road until the canal bridge, the entrance to the yard is immediately on the left. From Frome, we are 300 yards past the Elms Cross Roundabout. From Trowbridge, turn left at the canal bridge on the Trowbridge Road, go all the way to Elms Cross Roundabout, turn right and we are 300 yards on the right, immediately before the canal bridge.
    It's a bit of a blind entrance so be careful when coming out or turning in from the opposite direction.
