Alternatviely, you can head north down Veigals Lane (on the western side of the rail line), which will turn into a cycleway/footpath. Follow this path for a short distance to where it splits. Follow the right path under the rail line and then turn left on Beacon Avenue. This will bring you to Point Street and the 'Iron Gate' that new blocks the 'main' entrance to the site.
