Low Row, the nearest village, is approximately equidistant from the A1 to the east and the M6 to the west. From the A1 the route is through Richmond towards Reeth and along the B6270 following the River Swale. From the M6 head towards Sedbergh, then through Wensleydale towards Hawes. Turn left to cross into Swaledale by the Buttertubs Pass, coming into Swaledale on to the B6270. Turn towards Muker and Low Row.

If you are coming up Swaledale, turn right past the Punch Bowl,* a prominent inn on the right hand side of the road, and take the narrow road up past the one story industrial building. After two severe turns and a steep gradient, you will arrive on a level section of the road, which bears to your left as it levels out. Follow this road until you come to two concrete tracks bearing off to your left downhill. Turn left on to these tracks and you will arrive at High Smarber, which will be on your right and which you can recognize by a large concrete apron in front of the garage.

The nearest railroad station is Darlington (30 miles) with a bus service serving Low Row changing at Richmond.

* If you are coming down Swaledale, turn immediately before the Punch Bowl and follow the rest of the directions.
