Directions to MROC Events

Midland Rover Owners Club organise events at a variety of locations in and around the West  Midlands. Information and directions to these locations can be found below.
Click a location name from the list below to jump to the detail for that site. Use the "Click here for directions" link in the text or "Directions" on the maps to open your mapping app directly on your device, or click "View Larger Map" to load it full screen in Google Maps.
Always look out for Club signs to help find the entrance !
Remember Post Codes are often not very precise in the countryside - so ignore the PostCodes included on Google Maps (we can't delete them !)
Longitude / Latitude map refs can be added directly to Google Maps & most SatNavs & are very accurate.We've also added What3Words (W3W) references as they are becoming much more common & are much accurate than PostCodes. More mapping guidance here

BEWARE : the site entrance is on a bend with poor visibility, so park carefully on the left hand side to allow traffic to see you and pass while opening the gate (if closed).

The site entrance is relatively tight for trailers / long vehicles and also has overhanging trees 10 meters in which would prevent tall truck access.

Parking is in the open field with space for trailers to be turned round.

Eastnor Deer Park

The Deer Park entrance is approx. 0.5 miles East of Eastnor village centre, off the A438.
The Deer Park is location for all of our Eastnor based Camping & Caravan events.
The Deer Park now has a keypad operated entrance gate.
If you've Signed-on / booked for an event you'll be provided with the keypad code (if not, contact us).
NB The keypad code is changed regularly !
After the entering the code, the gate will open itself & then automatically close after letting you enter.

Follow the “MROC” signs approx. 300m up the road into the site.

If attending a trial starting in the "Sheep Field", remember to allow 15 mins to travel up to the Sheep Field! (see separate directions below)

Eastnor Sheep Field (NOT the camp site !)

If travelling direct to Scrutineering / Signing-On, go the Sheep Field via the centre of Eastnor Village & follow the signs to the Eastnor Pottery & The Ledbury Wine Cellar up the lane (15 MPH speed limit & rough !).

Continue up the lane past the Pottery & on for just over 0.5 miles, following “MROC” signs.
Beware 90 degree uphill bend to the left near the end at what may appear to be a junction.
Follow the track through the 2 gates at the top & park in the field
(DO NOT PARK on the hardstanding area which is always in use by Land Rover Experience). See the extra sketch showing the route

Spectators : Note Spectator cars are not allowed in the woods due to the tight tracks / lack of space. Please park in the field & walk into the woods (NB At least 0.5m to the woods & 0.5m + in the woods !)

Eastnor Woodyard ##

The “Woodyard” entrance is on the opposite side to the entrance to Eastnor Castle & Eastnor village,  on the North East side of the A438 where it changes direction next to the village.

## NB : The Woodyard entrance is no longer used for most MROC events due to the very busy Cafe now operating in the Woodyard car park (the Cafe is good !)

The entrance is through a combination lock controlled gate at one end of the layby. The gate will have an MROC sign & be unlocked / open while we’re in the Woodyard.

NB 1 : When you  use the "Directions " function, the Destination will appear as "Banana Leaf" - which is a mobile restaurant that uses the layby next to the  site entrance. Don't worry, the directions will be OK, but we can't  bypass Google 's wierd  logic !

Wagtail

Wagtail is the historic name for a site at Granby Farm, midway between Halford, Idlicote & Tredington  & approx 10 miles South East of Stratford upon Avon.

It's a fun site that we've not used for a few years, but previously used it for RTV & CCV trials & Fun / Open Days. The name comes from Wagtail Spinney, the wood on the North edge of the site). Apart from the wood, there aren't any trees to avoid !
