There is a free car park but it gets full so arrive early. If it is full, one option is to drive east along the A58 where there is a lay-by further to the east along the road which could be used and then walk back. However, would need to inform the walk leader if doing this as there will be a delay in walking back to the walk start point.

Walk unsuitable for dogs.

For members without transport please contact the walk leader for assistance with arranging a lift.
