How to find us...
We are situated between Grantham, Sleaford and Newark, and have easy access from the A1, the A17, and the A153 / A607 through Barkston and Hough-on-the-Hill.
Our address is (please note that this is NOT our postal address) - Ichthus
Canine Centre,
Laughton's Farm, Brandon Road, Hougham, Grantham, Lincs., NG32 2AG. We recommend
that you follow our directions rather than any route finder directions. Our past
experience is that they send people along back roads meaning that they get lost!
(Satellite navigation is fine.)
From the A1 -
Take the turning for Marston off the A1 (this is 1 mile North of the Downtown roundabout near Grantham.) Stay on this road passing near or through Marston, Hougham, and Gelston DO NOT TURN OFF THIS ROAD. Go over the railway bridge and Laughton's Farm is the first farm on the right. (The farm is 3 miles from the A1.) Turn right up the farm track and you will see Ichthus Canine Centre on the left at the end of the track.
From the A17 -
Take the turning to Stragglethorpe (off the A17.) Stay on this road and after approx. 4.5 miles you will see Laughton's Farm on the left. (If you go over the railway bridge you've gone too far.) Turn left up the farm track and you will see Ichthus Canine Centre on the left at the end of the track.
There is a turning off the A17 nearer to Sleaford, but it can be confusing on the first journey, so it is probably easier to follow the Stragglethorpe route and then try other routes nearer to you if need be.
From the A153 / A607
Come into the village of Barkston, and take the turning for Hough-on-the-Hill (next to the garage.) Continue on this road straight through Hough-on-the-Hill and out of the other side of the village. Take the first main turning on the left-hand-side with white railings called Grange Lane (between half a mile and a mile out of the village of Hough-on-the-Hill.) Continue to the end of this road and then turn left. Continue on this road until you see Laughton's Farm on your left. Turn left to the farm, and you will see Ichthus Canine Centre on the left at the end of the farm track.
