I strongly advise you to approach Patmore Heath via Little Hadham and the Albury Road, NOT via Parsonage Lane - a SatNav or Google Maps may suggest the latter route.

From the A10 follow Standon Road going East; at the roundabout go straight ahead - do NOT continue on the A120 which bypasses Little Hadham - at the traffic lights in Little Hadham, turn Left (North) up Albury Road towards Clapgate, Gravesend & Patmore Heath.

The residents in Patmore Heath seem to have started a campaign to "discourage" parking; so far as I know this is unenforceable.  However  it probably makes sense, if possible to park tidily on the North side of the Heath at about W3W:supposed.refilled.dwelled, TL 44267 25802, SG11 2LT.

I would also definitely encourage car sharing if available, the Car Share from Barnet may NOT be available.
