BARRIERS

- There are 3 barriers, which depending on the time of day, may be locked. It is a condition of our lease that all gates and barriers are left as found.

- We will provide the lock codes to the person who has made the booking.

- DO NOT share these codes with anyone else

 

HELP AND ADVICE

- Campers and visitors must not visit the farm or ask the farm staff for the codes.

​- The road to the site beyond the farm is a gravel road for approx 1.5 miles and there are STEEP and soft verges; DO NOT leave the track

- We ask that people car share as much as possible.  Not only is it better for the environment, it's easier to access site with fewer cars.

- Contact Hollinwood Scout Camp via Facebook messenger for a quick response.

​

Walking

​

Providing it is pre-arranged, groups can walk into the site via the canal bridge at 'The Moorings' public house in Boothstown, M28 1YB.  Entry is via a locked gate.

​

Note: the Moorings Pub now charges to use their carpark, and is monitored with ANPR cameras.
Pay-by-phone available - see signs on site. To park for 'free' in the carpark you need to register inside, (and use the pub).
£100 fines if not registered or paid.

 

Access to Hollinwood via this method needs to be pre-arranged with the team and can be confirmed during booking.  The gate code will NOT be given out under any circumstances.

THERE IS NO VEHICLE ACCESS VIA THIS GATE.
