Head towards the town, past the Co-op on your left, keep walking and when you get to a narrow gap with Bourdeaux Shop on the your left and The Galley on your right bear off to the right and keep walking up this road (Church Road). You will see the church in front of you, keeping the church on your left follow this road up and over the hill and eventually past Old Town Bay (on your right). At the end of the bay, there is a cafe on your left, turn left directly before it. This is Trench Lane and we are located on the right about 80 metres down.
