Free Daylight Parking for Village & Countryside Trails
Hackenthorpe Lower Car Park is a surface-level facility located off Hackenthorpe Lane, serving the lower end of Hackenthorpe Village and nearby countryside trails. The lot offers approximately 40 gravel-surfaced bays, including two accessible spaces near the entrance gate. Operating 7 am–6 pm daily, parking is free of charge; no payment machines or permits are required. No CCTV coverage or lighting is provided, so daytime visits are recommended for safety. A footpath leads directly to local walking trails, the Trans Pennine Trail, and Hackenthorpe Village shops within a three-minute walk. No direct bus services serve this lot; visitors typically arrive by private vehicle or bicycle. Covered cycle racks accommodating up to six bicycles are provided to encourage sustainable access. Seasonal gravel grading prevents muddy conditions and ensures proper drainage.
