Belvedere Farm, Titchfield Lane, Wickham, Fareham PO17 5PQ
How to find us
Our base is on a farm, so sat navs and map apps don’t always take you to the right spot. Follow the steps below from Titchfield Lane.
- Head for Titchfield Lane, Wickham. Set your sat nav to PO17 5PQ, or use the Google Maps link below.
- Turn off Titchfield Lane by Sunrise Cottage Farm. Coming from Wickham it’s on your left. From the Titchfield end it’s on your right.
- Carry straight on along the lane for about 100 metres, with the vegetable plots on your left.
- Turn right into our car park. Secure Care UK is in the Belvedere Farm buildings beside the car park.
