Meet at the free parking area signposted for Cromwell Bottom Nature Reserve. Follow the A6025 Elland Road and turn at small industrial estate where reserve is signed. Parking is at far end by the bridge over the canal. This is an uneven surface and a popular spot at weekends so car sharing is suggested.
