Third exit, A617 Mansfield road. About a mile and a half further on, in the little village of Kelham, Kelham Hall is on the left, well signposted.

From M1 North and Mansfield:
Exit M1 at Junction 28. Take A38 into Mansfield, then pick up signs for A617 Newark. About eighteen miles on is the village of Kelham (about two miles before Newark). Kelham Hall is on the right, at the beginning of the village, well signposted.
From M1 South and Nottingham:
Exit M1 at Junction 24 (Nottingham South). Follow signs initially for Nottingham. About five miles on take slip road left, following signs for A52 Grantham, and Newark A46. Follow A52 for approx seven miles to large roundabout where A46 north departs from A52. About 10 miles on is Newark. Take A46 Lincoln road (modern bypass), not town centre signs. One mile along at big roundabout, take first exit, A617 Mansfield road. About a mile and a half further on, in the little village of Kelham, Kelham Hall is on the left, well signposted.
Near Newark look out for yellow roadside 'Partizan' signs.
Public Transport:
By Train:
From London, or points North (York, Scotland etc): National Express East Coast run services via the east coast line, which run into Newark Northgate station. href="http://www.nationalexpresseastcoast.com/" National Express East Coast
From Nottingham, Derby, Lincoln, Skeggy etc.: East Midlands Trains run into Newark Castle station. Service on Sundays is pretty poor, starting quite late. So much for an integrated public transport policy!! href = "http://www.eastmidlandstrains.co.uk/emtrains"> East Midlands Trains /p> For train times and booking facilities online we suggest you try Thetrainline who aren't paying us any commission!
By Bus:
Never use these myself, but I understand that the Pathfinder services run by Kelham Hall on their Nottingham [Market Square] to Newark [Bus Station] service (make sure you get the service that goes via Southwell though, as the other service misses Kelham completely). Newark to Mansfield services presumably run past Kelham Hall too. We'll get the courtesy bus to drive through the Newark Bus Station on a regular basis too. Further information online via Nottingham City Transport's website.
By Bike
Follow the road signs as above, but be careful going over Kelham Bridge, very pretty, but a bit narrow, doubly so if there's an HGV coming the other way!
By Plane
Nearest airport is East Midlands International (between Nottingham and Derby).
