I had a better look at the OS map for you Saveman.
You have 3 options.
1. Park at the farm just North of Hempriggs House. (Barns)
2. Park at Hempriggs house itself.
3. Park at Toftcarl water treatment works.
All 3 options need a wee walk across a few parks, but its no at far really.

Hope at helps ya oot.

Just out of curiosity Saveman, Ive passed Helman head many many times by boat & Id like to know why you want to go & visit it ???

In my experience there is nowt there worth seeing but for all I know you may be a bird watcher or a geology fan, why there & not brig o trams or sarclet ?
