For Alderley Edge car park use SK10 4UB
We normally park in the main carpark off the B5087 Road between Alderley Edge and Macclesfield. If you go through the entry gate and park on the right.
There is a ticket Machine, you will either need to get a ticket (if you have a NT membership card) or display your volunteer card/parking pass, or write a note to say you are volunteering.
Public Transport:
There are often trains from Manchester Piccadilly to Alderley Edge on a Sunday that arrive in time for a 9:30 start. If you want a lift from the station (it’s a good hill climb to the carpark) please let the leader know, and check train times on the day.
Facilities:
This is a countryside area, the carpark has toilets, there is also a Café, and in the summer, there is often an Ice-cream Van.
As with most sites you may be working several minutes’ walk from the carpark.
Usual Meeting Time
9:30 – please check email for confirmation of the time.
