The Farming Life Centre is situated in the farm hamlet of Blackwell.  We are approximately half a mile off the A6, five miles from Buxton and seven miles from Bakewell.

Coming from Bakewell:

1. Follow the A6 past Taddington village and The Waterloo pub.
2. Turn right onto the B6049 (signposted Millers Dale and Tideswell)
3. At the first small country crossroads (look out for post box on right, bus stop on left) turn left into the farm hamlet of Blackwell.
4. At the top of the hill, sweep round to the right into the drive way for Blackwell Hall Farm (there is a green sign for the Farming Life Centre here)
5. Follow the drive way up, going through the gate way on the left as the road divides at the top, and continue straight on past the farm shippon on your left.
6. As you enter the courtyard the Farming Life Centre is the first building directly on the right.
7. Parking is available on the gravelled area to the left of the shippon or in the courtyard in front of the Farming Life Centre.
