Hay-a-park is on the outskirts of Knaresborough which is some 2 miles from the A1(M) in North Yorkshire.
On leaving the A1(M) turn on to the A59 towards Harrogate then at the first roundabout turn towards Knaresborough and drive to the traffic lights. Turn right on to Chain Lane then drive down to the staggered crossroad and turn right on to Park Lane drive along and past the Rugby pitch on right. The lane rises and at top of rise a track on right leads to crossing.
The Lane on this side of the crossing is open fields with on hedges so you can park on the side of the lane.
There are no amenities at Hay-a-park but there is a shop and a chip shop at the crossroads of of Chain Lane and Park Lane.
There is accommodation available in Knaresborough.
Photographs can be taken from ether side of the line, and sun is not a problem most of the day. The line is more enclosed from the York direction and runs on to an embankment from the Knaresborough side so there are a lot of possibilities.
