Good car parking at Anglezarke. Use Babylon Lane from the junction with the A673. At the Bay Horse, carry straight on over the M61, and then next left into Nickleton Brow. Follow this to and across the reservoir, and round the left hand bend. Ignore all right turns until you are forced to turn right uphill and into the car park.
