The site is approximately 1.25 miles from Junction 7 of the M65 providing access to the national motorway network. Accrington town centre is 1 mile distant and Oswaldtwistle Mills and the Church and Oswaldtwistle Railway Station are close by.
A rectangular shaped site accessed from Foxhill Bank Brow with an additional single carriageway entrance from Union Road.
