MORLEY LODGE – DIRECTIONS

Please note that Morley Lodge can be difficult to locate, as it is not signposted from the road.

From Little Eaton village, turn onto Morley Lane, which is easily identifiable. Proceed up the initial steep section of the lane for approximately 100 metres. As the road begins to level out, you will see the second property on the left, named Glenwood.

Glenwood sits at the entrance to a long private driveway serving several properties. Turn into this driveway and continue to the top, where you should turn right by the white garage—this will lead you to Morley Lodge.

Please be aware that satellite navigation systems, including Google Maps, may direct you further up Morley Lane. If you reach the bridge, you have gone too far and will need to turn back.
