The gates operate electrically.  If gates are closed you need to push the circular black button, situated on the right-hand side of the gates.  Once through the gates, you must remember to close them by pushing the button on the inside of the gates.  From the inside, a  grey button is situated on the left gate (at the left gates right side).Look to your left for the parking area.  Parking is on the left hand side through the metal gate leading to a large hard-standing.
