There is a small area to park your car just down the hill from Hartshead Pike. This is located on Back Lane. There's not a great deal of room so if there is no room to park here, venture back down toward Lily Lanes and you should be able to find some room to park on the roadside. Just remember to be considerate of local residents and other road users.
