How to Find the Avon Tyrell Centre:

If you can't read maps....Coming from London, the North or East...
From the southbound M3 motorway just before you get to Southampton, join the M27 and follow signs for the West and Bournemouth (the M27 eventually becomes the A31 dual carriageway). After approx. 15 miles, watch carefully and exit off the A31 left for BURLEY (signposted Burley and Services). Follow the signs into BURLEY (about 3 miles). In the centre of the village you will find a triangular junction with a war memorial in the centre - turn right (signposted BRANSGORE and Avon Tyrrell). Watch out for cattle, ponies, donkeys, deer, herds of wildebeast, blue rinses and grockles on the roads. After a couple of miles you will rise up a hill and come to a crossroads at THORNEY HILL. Turn right (signposted for AVON TYRRELL). Go over the cattle grid, continue for 400m until you reach a fork in the road and a white cottage on the right - (large sign for AVON TYRRELL straight in front of you). Take the right fork which is our private drive. Please obey the speed limit and watch out for the speed ramps if you want to avoid expensive suspension repairs. Avon Tyrrell House is at the end of the drive. See you soon!

Coming from the West of England (ooh arr ay), head for RINGWOOD via A31 or A338, continue east past Ringwood up the main A31 dual carriageway for about 1 mile. As you get to the top of a hill there is the turning off left signposted to Burley and services. Continue to Burley & Avon Tyrrell as directions above. Be careful about asking 'locals' for directions, for a laugh or unintentionally they'll often send you to the Tyrrell Hotel which is 2 miles from us!

Accommodation
You will not be staying the night at the Avon Tyrrell Centre. Overnight accommodation will be at the Carlton Hotel in Bournemouth, a delightful Hotel which Miss Moneypenny has sourced especially for her new secret agent trainees!
