Roach End Barn

[Kennett]

Can anyone please advise on the location of the "Roach End Barn"?

I've seen so many great photographs on Talk Photography of the barn but have to admit it's somewhere I've never been but would certainly like to go. Any help at all would be really appreciated.

Have you tried Google? It's a free service available to anyone with a computer. Lots of info on there.

The Barn (and the rest of the Farm) is at the North Western end of the Roaches, map ref SJ 9963 6430
There is limited parking on the road near the farm, but if going at sunrise or sunset, shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for the help Wontolla, much appreciated.

Just bear in mind that although the land to the east of the barn is access land - and accessible via a public footpath - the field to the west of the barn, between the barn and roach end, is private land. Plenty to explore in the access section anyway.

Thanks for the help and advice Chris, much appreciated. I'll keep your info in mind for my first visit.

One more thought on this - just be aware of the position of the sun. At this time of year, 5pm-ish you'll be looking into the sun to shoot from that position. The sun will get 'round out of the shot by about 8:00pm. Worth checking an ephemeris for precise timing.
