It is off Swithland Road which runs between Rothley and Quorn; you can see the Lane on Google Maps / Earth. Just follow it around the reservoir until you come to the railway bridge. There is another entry point on Brand Lane which runs between Woodhouse and Swithland. Here it is called Rushey Lane This can be reached by turning left out of Quorn Station and branching left at Old Woodhouse. The lane is on the left ¾ miles after it branches.
