Free parking for Kerridge Ridge and Peak District walks
Holehouse Lane Car Park is a free, Cheshire East Councilmanaged gravel lay-by located in Adlington at Whiteley Green, serving walkers and cyclists visiting Kerridge Ridge and Lyme Parks western edge. The unmarked facility accommodates approximately 45 vehicles on a first-come basis; it opens at dawn and closes at dusk; no overnight stays. There is no lighting or CCTV; park during daylight hours recommended. A council noticeboard at the entrance displays detailed footpath maps for Kerridge Ridge (5 km circuit) and notes on local quarrying history. Benches and picnic tables provide rest spots overlooking the Peak District hills. Pedestrian trails lead directly to the start of the Ridge walk (100 m) and to connecting routes toward Bollington and Macclesfield (4 km). Seasonal mountain biking events reduce capacity by 10; signage directs vehicles to Pool Bank Car Park (3 km) with a shuttle bus during major events. Maintenance crews clear litter monthly and trim hedgerows quarterly.
