Portland Park is situated about 1km south of Kirkby-in-Ashfield town centre along Lindleys
Lane. There are several alternative entry points to the Park for walkers: consult a local map.
If driving, or walking from Kirkby town centre, follow the brown tourist sign pointing off Station Road
to the Park. After reaching the car park, follow the footpath to the Visitor Centre (disabled
drivers may park at the Visitor Centre). Continue a few metres past the Visitor Centre, then
down the steps to your right. An alternative route is available that is suitable for wheelchairs,
although it is considerably longer. Directions for this, and a map of the Park, can be obtained
from the Visitor Centre.
DEMONSTRATION: a small additional board is petalled over the course of the weekend in the Visitor Centre.
