Find Grosvenor & Hilbert Park

The park is not always easy to find; even though it has 15 entrances! One of the main entrances is situated at the end of Camden Road / Quarry Road (follow the path behind the flats at the bridge).

If you're using SatNav use the postcode TN1 2HU which should get you to the entrance in Auckland Road, the playground and Table 8 Cafe. Or for the Hilbert Road entrance (for Skatepark and woods) use TN2 3SF. Car parking can be difficult, you will need to look for on street parking.

Or you could use the 'What 3 Words' system.
