Car park locations
There are almost 2,000 car parking spaces across 45 Peak District National Park Authority car parks [listed below] that allow you to park safely and avoid damaging landscape and habitats in the National Park.
Please use the car parks provided and help to keep roads safer and clear for farm vehicles and the emergency services. All of the money collected in parking charges goes back into helping us look after the National Park.
Did you know we have both annual and weekly parking permits available for regular visitors, which can save you up to £75 a year if you visit just twice a month? These permits can be used in any pay and display car parks with the millstone logo shown below.
Card payments are not available in all locations, so please be prepared where coin payments are necessary [shown below].
None of our car parks have height restriction barriers in place and are therefore suitable for small to medium sized motorhomes. Sorry, Bakewell Station is not suitable for motor homes.
Overnight parking at all of our car parks is prohibited, and may be subject to patrols.
Disabled parking: Please contact our Customer Services team for information on the most suitable car park locations, accessible trails and cycle hire opportunities if you have additional mobility needs. We aim to provide clear demarked/delineated disabled bays where car park surfaces allow.
