Car park locations

There are almost 2,000 car parking spaces across 44 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 and providing visitor facilities.
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 Peak District National Park Authority pay and display car parks with the millstone logo shown below.
EV charging points: these are available at Millers Dale station and Parsley Hay. Download the Podpoint app before your journey.
Cash and card payments are not available in all locations, so please be prepared for our coin only and card only machines. The payment methods are shown below.
None of our car parks have height restriction barriers in place and are therefore suitable for small to medium sized motorhomes visiting during the daytime. Some of our car parks are lined so may not be suitable for larger vehicles in the marked bays. Bakewell Station is not suitable for motor homes and other larger vehicles.
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.
