FAQs
Highcross Corner is 1 High Cross Road, FY6 8BA. It is on the junction of High Cross Road and Hardhorn Road. There is a prominent blue sign with the name on at the front gate, which leads to the front door for pedestrians. The rear driveway entrance (for parking) is on High Cross Road, between No 3 and No 7 (No 5 does not exist). It is a little hard to see unless you drive slowly. It has a privet hedge along its length. We recommend that you have a look at Google Streetview, and also the Photo Tour on this website, to make sure you recognise it.
At the bottom of the driveway are three rear entrances. Highcross Corner is the first on the left. There is parking for three cars, but each car will block the next ones in. There is space to juggle cars around when you need to.
