How to find us...
Exit the M5 at junction 3. Take Manor Way - the A456 West signposted to Kidderminster (out of Birmingham). Take the first left into the narrow Lapal Lane South. Follow this around the bends for about a mile and just before the end turn left into Lye Close and cross the bridge over the M5. Turn right at the cross-roads with the much bigger Woodgate Lane. Where the road forks, bear left down Adams Hill and then keep straight on past the schools and shops until you see Bartley Sailing Club signposted on your right just before the dam wall.
