The Gardens are situated between the Hampshire villages of Ampfield and Braishfield, three miles north-east of Romsey. They are signposted on brown tourist signs from Romsey town centre, the A3090 Winchester to Romsey road, and the A3057 Stockbridge to Romsey road.
From junction 3 of the M27, follow the signs to Romsey from where you will find the Gardens clearly signposted. If you are coming from the north, you may prefer to use exit 11 on the M3, and from there follow the signs to Otterbourne, Hursley, and then Ampfield.
