Pictorial Directions for Visitors

If you are travelling South along Menlove Avenue (A562), the first available turn to the right will take you into Green Lane...

junction of Green Lane and Harthill Road

take the first turn on the left, which is...

Harthill Road...

Harthill Road looking West

...drive down Harthill Road...

junction of Harthill Road and Calderstones Road

...until you reach the junction with Calderstones Road...

looking North along Harthill Road from Calderstones Road

...go straight across, and...

...park on Harthill Road near Harthill Lodge...

Harthill Lodge

...walk into the park using the entrance next to Harthill Lodge...

the lane past Harthill Lodge

...walk down the little bit of road...

the path towards the Rose Gardens

...turn right...

the visitors entrance to the railway

...and we are on the right!

If you are travelling North along Menlove Avenue (A562), the first (fairly major) road you will pass on the left, with a brown fingerpost sign to the park, is Yew Tree Road. You can go down here to the Park's main car park; at the far end of the car park is the main North-South path through the Park. At this point you should follow the In the Park directions...
The second road on the left, this time (I think) with a white fingerpost sign, is Calderstones Road - take it! Just up here on the left is one of the Park's car parks. If you park in this car park, follow the road you were just driving on into the Park turn right as per the signs at the gates to the Council yard, and follow the path through the picnic area to the main North-South path through the Park - you come out just above the Vestibule, a posh greenhouse holding the Calder Stones, after which the Park is named. At this point you should follow the In the Park directions.
Alternatively, keep driving along Calderstones Road past the car park entrance, and in but a little while you will come to...

the junction of Calderstones Road and Harthill Road

...the junction with Harthill Road. Since you can't go straight on, turn left, and follow the above directions from here...

If you are travelling South through Allerton (along the B5180, Allerton Road), turn left at the Library, and continue down Allerton Road until you see...

All Hallows' Church, Allerton Road

...All Hallow's Church. Take the road to the left of the church...

Junction of Allerton Road and Harthill Road, looking South

...the next junction is with Harthill Road, so turn left...

Harthill Lodge from the West

...keep going until you see Harthill Lodge, park, and follow the above directions from here...

If you are travelling North along the B5180 towards Allerton, turn right into Booker Avenue when you see the brown fingerpost sign for the Park (there is a Spanish house and a Synagogue at this junction). Go straight on at the junction into Yew Tree Road. Just down here on the left is the Park's main car park; at the far end of the car park is the main North-South path through the Park. At this point you should follow the In the Park directions...
Alternatively, you can turn left at the end of Booker Road into Allerton Road, which runs along the west edge of the Park...

Junction of Allerton Road and Harthill Road looking North

...the next road on the right is Harthill Road, just before All Hallows' Church. Turn right, and follow the directions from here...

Once you are in the Park, it is easy enough to find the main path, which runs North-South. There are three paths you can take off this path to get to the Club...

...as you walk up this path, you will come to the Rose Garden...
