Think best parking on siteCan anyone tell me what the parking is like at or near Witton Cemetery, Moor Lane entrance. TIA.
Plenty of parking in Witton, Smudge.
Entrance in Moor Lane opposite the pub & Stonemasons yard, Office round to left with small car parking area. Main cemetery has plenty of roadways with room to park and still be passed, but potholes a plenty, so drive slowly! If it's been raining and they still haven't trimmed the trees, be more careful of overhanging branches bumping the roof on some of the side pathways. (May have been lopped since I was last there before Xmas).
Note exiting cemetery, you cannot access the Outer circle due to work on the Motorway blocking half the road - you have to go out Perry Barr end, or go through cemetery, out of exit opposite side from entrance next to staff depot onto The Ridgeway - can access Outer Circle from there.

Smudge,
Depending on where you are coming from - if it directs you via Witton /Outer Circle, you will see as you turn into Moor Lane that there is no exit that way.
If so, when you finish in Cemetery aim for the Ridgeway Exit - exactly opposite entrance but up hill. Right turn out of Cemetery, down to bottom of road and you are 200 yards or so further up the Outer Circle than when you turned into Moor Lane.
Spag Jct will only come into it if coming via Motorway - just take it easy - it will all come back to you!
