How do I find the site?

From the north: leave the A19 at the Bishop Auckland / Hartlepool junction and take the A689 east towards Hartlepool. As you enter Hartlepool, turn right into Seaton Lane at the first traffic island (by the Owlton Lodge public house). Turn right at the next traffic island into Brenda Road. Follow this road almost to the end, we are on the left hand side.

From the south: leave the A19 at the A1046 Haverton Hill Road. Follow this through Billingham and the Clarences, then turn left for Seaton Carew (A178). Continue until you pass the Tioxide plant and TERRC, then turn left at the island into Brenda Road (opposite the power station). Seaton Meadows is on the right.
