HOW TO FIND US SAT NAV: CO4 3SQ Please note some sat navs may direct you to the wrong side of Wivenhoe Park so you may need to enter Boundary Road instead of the postcode. BY CAR: Whether approaching Wivenhoe House from London and the South or from Ipswich and the North via the A12, take the exit marked Colchester (A133). Follow the A133 towards Clacton, then take the B1027 for Wivenhoe before turning right into Boundary Road, then right into Park Road. The entrance for Wivenhoe House is shared with the University of Essex but Park Road leads you through Wivenhoe Park directly to Wivenhoe House which you will see from the road.
