Start from the centre of Dalbeattie, travel up Station Road and turn right into Albert Street. Follow the road straight ahead and you will come to the car park and the start of the Rounall Wood paths.
Park in the Rounall Wood car park next to the cemetery.
From the “Welcome to Rounall Wood” sign take 70 paces up the hill into the wood and follow the track on your right until you find the chunky picnic table. 36 paces after this there is a small path on your left just before a large rhododendron bush. Follow the path up between various rhododendron bushes to the stream crossing. Roughly 70 paces further up where the path does a jink around a small boulder the box is 6 feet up on the right where the tree is growing out of the rocks.
