By Car
The red dot in the middle of the map below is Folly Farm. If you click on it a balloon will pop up with the address. In the bottom left hand corner of that balloon is a button that says 'Directions'. Click on that and you'll be transported to a new page - on the left is your A to B directions. Folly Farm is already set to B, just put your postcode as A and click 'Get Directions'. Simple! For the SatNav inclined the postcode is BS39 4DW. For all those people coming from London, you should probably allow three hours for driving. AND as there are so many people coming up from town, if you have space in your car or you're struggling to find transport, let us know and we'll see if we can bring you together.
When your in close proximity to Bristol, these directions might help:
Travelling southwards from Bristol on the A37 travel through Pensford. At the Chelwood roundabout turn right onto the A368 towards Bishop Sutton. After about 2 miles go past the turning to Chew Magna and take the next small turning on your left very shortly after, just before reaching Stowey.

Having said all that, Folly Farm encourages all its visitors to use environmentally friendly forms of transport wherever possible. So:
By Train
The nearest train station is Bristol Temple Meads. Trains go from London Paddington twice an hour with First Great Western. You'll need to get the ten o'clock train to be at the Farm in time for the ceremony. Last train home is 10:30 PM - far too early! But if that's what you gotta do, that's what you gotta do...
By Bus and Public Transport
Bus services 67 and 672, from Bristol, serve the Folly Farm Centre’s local area. Public transport information, including the latest timetables, can be found at Travel Bristol and Traveline South West.
Cycling and Walking
Folly Farm is easily accessible by bicycle and the West County Way, part of the National Cycle Network, passes close by. For walkers, two well known local long distance footpaths are the Monarch’s Way and Mendip Way. If anyone is mad enough to cycle to the Farm in November we'll give you a special prize!
Taxis
Details of some local taxi companies will appear here when we've found some out...
