On reaching the outskirts of Norwich, follow directions to A140 Cromer, which will take you on the ring road around the west and north of Norwich.

Continue on the A140 (past Norwich International Airport, through St Faiths, Hevingham, Hainford, Marsham) until you reach the roundabout on the outskirts of Aylsham. Continue on the A140, which is the third exit off the roundabout. After driving for about 4 miles, there is a left hand turn sign posted to 'Erpingham'. Ignore the first one and take the second left hand turn to Erpingham. (The sign post is on the right hand side of the A 140 and also has a sign for a camp/caravan site). This narrow road leads into Erpingham. Go past the Spread Eagle pub on your left and continue to Calthorpe. At the junction in Calthorpe, continue straight ahead rather than turn right on the Aldborough road. There is a national heritage sign to Wolterton Park pointing the way you want to go. Continue past Calthorpe Church on your left and just after the sign 'Jemco Signs' on your left, there is a single track road to the right. This is Common Road (you have almost made it!). The road has a sign at the entrance,'Unsuitable for long vehicles'- don't panic! Follow the road for nearly one mile and after a sharp bend to the left, there will be a turning to the left with a tiny disused chapel on the corner. Continue straight ahead and you will find The Pink House on your right. Enter the driveway by the second entrance (through a five barred gate).

If you miss the turning to Erpingham off the A 140, do not worry, just continue past Alby Crafts and the Alby Horseshoes pub (both on your left) and take the left hand turn sign posted, 'By way to Aldborough'. This meanders through farm land for about 2 1/2 miles. Continue straight past the signs to your right to Aldborough School and to Aldborough village. The road narrows and you pass Aldborough (St Mary's) Church (unusual in this area for having a spire rather than a tower) on your left. Soon after this, you will come to a cross roads. Take the left hand turn. Beware the blind corner which creeps up on you about 300 yards down the lane. Take a left turn immediately after the first house you come to on the left (Corner House). You will see The Pink House just in front of you on the left about 200 yards down this narrow lane.

From the West, (King's Lynn)

Take the A 148 out of King's Lynn towards Fakenham and Cromer. On the outskirts of Fakenham, continue on the A 148 to Cromer (do not go into Fakenham Town Centre!). Pass through Little Snoring and on reaching Thursford, look out for right hand turn to Melton Constable (B1354). Take this road through Melton Constable and Briston to Saxthorpe. At the junction with the B 1149 in Saxthorpe turn right and then immediately left (past the petrol station). Continue along this road to the village of Matlaske where you take a right turn (sign posted Wickmere and Wolterton) in the centre immediately before the village sign (on right) and opposite gates of a large estate. Drive through open countryside for about one mile and take the first left turn sign posted Hanworth and Aldborough. You can actually see the Pink House in the distance to your right. Continue for about one mile until you reach a house facing you. Turn right at this house (sign posted Erpingham). Continue along narrow road and you will find The Pink House on your left (about 200 yards). Enter the driveway by the first entrance (through a five barred gate).
