Getting Here
By road
The Herefordshire village of Eastnor is located 2 miles East of Ledbury on the A438. Ledbury – Tewkesbury road. We are not far from Junction 2 of the M50, connecting us with the M5 and rest of the motorway network. Once in the village, follow signs for the Pottery. Plenty of free parking in the carpark in front of the studio.
By rail
The market town of Ledbury is the nearest train station. You’ll need to pre-book a taxi to journey the 2 miles to the Pottery as there isn’t a taxi rank or public transport to Eastnor. For those considering walking, It’s a hilly 3 miles of muddy paths and recommended only for seasoned hikers.
