Access & Parking
Brookmeadow Pool is located in the hamlet of Pencoyd just off the A49 Hereford to Ross on Wye road close to the village of Pengethley, about 9 miles from Hereford
From the North:
Cross the Greyfriars Bridge over the River Wye in Hereford and stay in the left-hand lane signposted A49 Ross on Wye, Continue along the A49 for 7.5 miles, through Much Birch to the village of Llandinabo. Look out for the signpost for the B4348 signposted to Hay on Wye on the right. Just past this junction, there is a smaller junction signposted Pencoyd. Turn right at this junction and follow the narrow lane to a small crossroads. Go straight across this junction until you reach a second small crossroads with a sign on the right-hand side showing access to the Dhamma Dipa Vipassana Meditation Centre. Turn left at this crossroads and continue a few hundred yards down the road to the bottom of the hill. The access gate to the pool is on the left. Please ensure the gate is locked after passing through it and that the lock combination is scrambled. The lock number can be found in the back of your rule book and is changed on January 1st each year.
From the South: Leave the A40 at Ross on Wye via the Wilton Roundabout and take the A49 towards Hereford. Continue for 5.25 miles along the A49 through the village of Pengethley and past the fruit farm on the left-hand side. At the bottom of the incline, there is a small turning on the left signposted Pencoyd. Turn left here and proceed as above.
