The Priory is in the small village of Upper Dicker, approximately two miles west of Hailsham and eight miles northwest of Eastbourne. There are Brown Heritage signs from the A22 and the A27.

From Brighton, use the A27 to the Alfriston roundabout and take the Upper Dicker exit. From Tunbridge Wells use the A267 or from Hastings and Bexhill use the A271 and turn on to the A22 at Hailsham towards London. Shortly after the Boship roundabout, take the left turn signposted to Upper Dicker and Michelham Priory.
