From Burton upon Trent take the A511 south towards Midway. After crossing the river turn right onto Stapenhill Road, go straight over the roundabout and continue onto Main Street, which turns into Rosliston Road and then Walton Road. Manor Farm is on the right hand side just before you reach the village of Walton on Trent.
