After another mile or so of commercial and residential road (Wincheap), and two pelican crossings, you will go under the railway bridge and come to:

At the T junction, turn left signed to coach / long stay car park. Go past St Radigund's long stay car park (less than five minutes walk to School) on the left, and after about 100m by The Dolphin pub, turn right, (taking care as vehicles can come the other way in the middle of the road) and continue another 100m to the next T junction .
