There is a further lawn with fencing separating the garden from the property's pastureland.

Continue through Pandy before turning left immediately before the "Pandy Inn". Continue under the bridge as the road bears right for approximately half a mile. Upon seeing a green 'Dutch' barn immediately ahead turn right. Continue along this road for another half a mile. Walterstone Common will be signposted as a turning to the right. Follow this and the driveway to 'Hollyhenge' will be found after about 1.7 miles on the left-hand side.
