From the East, take the A17 from Sleaford towards Kings Lynn. Most satnav systems instruct you to turn left down a country lane. This route is great if it is a nice sunny day, but perilous in wintery conditions. So ignore this and continue along the A17 and turn right into Heckington. Go through the village and out the other side, picking up the signs towards South Kyme until you reach Star Fen on your left (about 1 mile outside Heckington)
