Sat Nav
If you are using Google Maps, please search for “Huntley Wood” (in Cheadle, Staffordshire), rather than using our postcode, as this will bring you directly to our front gate.
If you are using another Sat Nav, the postcode is ST10 2NS, though this points to a nearby farm so please do NOT turn left up the hill to the farm, but continue further down Coneygreaves Lane until you reach a gate clearly marked Huntley Wood.
​
Please check that your Sat Nav is bringing you to our gate via Coneygreaves Lane and approaching the gate from the West (via Draycot Cross crossroads). To the East of our entrance, Coneygreaves Lane becomes a dirt track passable by 4WD vehicles only, so ensure your Sat Nav is not trying to take you via that route.
​
