Unless travelling in the immediately local area, the majority of visitors will likely be travelling along either the M1 or A1. We’re encouraging all visitors using these roads to use the following directions: 

1. Exit the M1 at junction 13, or the A1 at the Black Cat Roundabout, and follow the A421 towards Bedford.  
2. Exit the A421 at the junction signed for Luton/Bedford/A6.  
3. Take the A5141 towards Bedford. You should pass a large Audi dealer on your left.  
4. When you reach the second set of lights after the Audi dealer, turn left, following signs for Ampthill/B530. 
5. Continue along the B530. After travelling for just under five miles, you’ll spot The Bowl on your left. 

 We strongly encourage visitors to ignore sat navs and navigation apps and follow the above directions, avoiding towns like Flitwick and Ampthill. This is both to avoid disruption to the local community, and for your own sake, as these routes can feature narrow roads and speed bumps.
