For the "local" people.
For those living in the Wakefield area who will be travelling cross country the route will be signed from the B6273 into Clayton where you should pick up the above instructions.
If using a satnav the postcode to use, from Frickley's site is DN5 7BU - this will get you to the campsite but only once you have arrived in the village of Clayton - if you use it from further afield it will take you to the Frickley Hall however you will encounter a locked gate along the way.
All distances are approximate and will depend on your speedo calibration.
