To access Highland Woods:
>From downtown London:
Travel south on Wharncliffe road and when you pass Commissioner's Road, you
will take a left at the next lights, which is Highview Avenue East. Travel down
highview avenue east and turn left at Rossmore Court. The enterance for
Highland Woods will be on your left hand side of the street via a catwalk.
Parking is on the street.
Happy Hunting
