Free village parking for shops, schools, and canal towpath access
Adlington Road Car Park is a free, Cheshire East Councilmanaged tarmac facility located on Adlington Road in Bollington, serving village shops, schools, and outdoor enthusiasts visiting surrounding Peak District fringes. The lot offers 50 marked bays, including three Blue Badge spaces near the pedestrian exit and one motorcycle bay. It operates from dawn until dusk; overnight parking is prohibited. There is no lighting or CCTV; visitors are advised to park during daylight hours. A council noticeboard at the entrance provides walking and cycling route maps for the Middlewood Way and local heritage trails. Benches and picnic tables are positioned near the lot perimeter overlooking the Macclesfield Canal. Pedestrian paths lead directly to Bollington shops (100 m), Bollington Community Centre (150 m), and onward trails to Teggs Nose Country Park (3 km). Seasonal village fairs and car-free days reduce capacity by 10%; overflow signage directs drivers to Pool Bank Car Park (2 km). Maintenance crews clear litter monthly and trim hedgerows quarterly.
