Continue, through Littledean, turning right at mini-roundabout, up the hill round two bends into Cinderford, taking the first right between the first houses. * Follow this road along the top of the ridge, round a right angle bend at the end by the Foresters Pub, and down the hill you will see the school site on the right hand side. MusicSpace is a new building, fairly close to the road on the far right hand (up hill) side of the site as you look towards the school from the road. For deliveries, use the first drive you come to on the right hand side. You can park directly outside the building. For all other purposes, use the second, main school drive and park in the main car park.
