From the centre of Ilkley proceed down Brook Street, over the main river bridge and then and then turn left onto Denton Road. Follow the road as it climbs up the hill out of Ilkley and bears sharply to the left, subsequently flattening out. Continue ahead past the properties on the left-hand side and as the road turns sharp right, take a sharp left-hand turn down the lane, through a yard with farm buildings to the left and right. Dean Head will be seen to the right hand side, but continue ahead and as the lane bears to the right the private entrance to Dean Head will become clearly visible.
