From Newport
From Coppins Bridge roundabout, take the town centre exit, go straight across the traffic lights by Morrisons, then take the right fork at the next set of lights then left by HSBC into Pyle Street. This will bring you into Carisbrooke.
Go straight across 2 mini roundabouts and keep going staight ahead up Carisbrooke High Street. At the top is a 3rd mini roundabout; turn left here, towards Shorwell.
Follow this road through Shorwell, taking the right hand fork at the mini roundabout past The Crown pub (does very good food!) and on into Brighstone. Pass the shops and thatched post office, take the next right into Moortown Lane. Follow this as it winds up hill. At the crest of the hill you will find the National Trust car park. Look for the Wight Llama Treks van.
