Crab Haws car park, Bethecar Moor (free) — 1.1 km from summit (straight line)
Small, free car park about 0.8 miles N of High Nibthwaite (OS SD 296 909; what3words ///fault.swordfish.insect). The hidden entrance is immediately after a field on the right. The natural start for the quiet Bethecar Moor / Blawith Birketts (Low & High Light Haw, Arnsbarrow Hill), with a path up through the woods. High Nibthwaite's own roadside laybys are very limited, so use Crab Haws to avoid blocking farm access.
