Type of venue
allotments.
Access
the allotments can be accessed from two directions. The first follows the Trail’s map, the second is a more accessible route.
Route 1. Leaving the cricket club (Venue 24) , walk across the field towards the Railway line. Follow an alleyway, which is adjacent to the allotments, which leads to the entrance. The ground is on one level, but uneven.
Route 2. A more accessible and direct route is via the underpass on Station Approach. The ground is paved, and not as uneven. The allotments are located on the left hand side.
The metal gates will be unlocked. Although the allotments are on one level, the ground is uneven and care must be taken.
