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.
We provide car parks to help handle the numbers of visitors to the National Park and reduce congestion. Fees from our Pay & Display car parks are re-invested into the care and protection of landscapes local to that area and visitor facilities the car parks serve.
Did you know we have both annual and weekly parking permits available for regular visitors? These permits can be used in any Peak District National Park Authority pay and display car parks with the millstone logo shown below.
A pay and display ticket is not transferable from one vehicle to another and on transfer the ticket ceases to be valid. A pay and display ticket is only valid in the parking place in which it was issued. This is defined by the reference code of the ticket machine located in that parking place printed on the pay and display ticket.
EV charging points: these are available at Millers Dale station and Parsley Hay. Download the Podpoint app before your journey.
Please be aware that due to the rural location of most of our car parks, payment may be cash as well as card. A small number of locations may be cash or card only due to technical connectivity or security reasons.
The payment methods are shown below.
Cashless payment by app
All Peak District National Park Authority car parks requiring Pay & Display now offer a quick and easy alternative to pay with your phone by using RingGo, the UK’s no.1 parking app.
Late Pay Locations
There are a small number of our car parks where we know signal is an issue and we therefore allow payment to be made within 24 hours of parking. The sites only include:
- Bowden Bridge [RingGo 51705]
- Derwent Overlook [RingGo 51707]
- Hartington Station [RingGo 51709]
- Hurst Clough [RingGo 51736]
- Ilam Coach Park [RingGo 51737]
- Milldale [RingGo 51715]
- Millers Dale [RingGo 51716]
- Upper Burbage Bridge [RingGo 51727]
- Brookside [RingGo 51732]
- Clough House [RingGo 51733]
- Nab Quarry [RingGo 51738]
- Upperdale [RingGo 51741]
- Vicarage Quarry [RingGo 51742]
- Wyedale [RingGo 51730]
When using the sites listed above please take a note of the location number and pay within 24 hours of your arrival to avoid any further action in relation to non-payment. Please also ensure that the parking period you purchase covers the time that your car was in the car park.
For all other locations, a valid ticket, permit or blue badge must be on display or payment by phone submitted.
How to use RingGo
- Download the RingGo app - go to the App Store or Google Play Store and search for RingGo.
- Set up an account by registering a few details so the next time you want to park, you can pay in seconds.
- When you park in an area where RingGo is offered, you need to:
- Confirm your vehicle registration number (with no spaces).
- Enter the five or six-digit location number shown on signs at the location. For example, if there is a sign with ‘234567’ displayed, this is the location code you must use.
- Select how long you want to stay.
- Confirm your payment details.
If your parking is running out, you can extend the time wherever you are by using the RingGo app. Select your current parking session from the sessions tab and the app will ask how long you want to extend. Choose a time, confirm and your parking is sorted.
None of our car parks have height restriction barriers in place, however some are not suitable for larger vehicles.
Where a larger vehicle can use the car park, but is unable to fit within one car parking bay then they must pay for the number of bays the vehicle takes up and ensure the vehicle does not obstruct the area for other users, or may be subject to enforcement.
Overnight parking or camping at all of our car parks is prohibited, and may be subject to patrols and enforcement action.
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.
