Free countryside parking for Grantham Canal access
This rural car park sits at the entrance to Towles Fields country estate, offering parking for visitors who wish to walk or cycle along the Grantham Canal towpath. The hard-packed dirt-and-gravel surface holds about 40 vehicles, including two wheelchair-accessible bays near the entrance. No charges apply; users are asked to sign in on the visitor logbook to help with maintenance funding. No lighting is present, so parking after sunset is discouraged. A locked barrier gate protects the pedestrian trailhead when the estate is undergoing conservation work (usually closed between December and February). Information boards at the entrance provide details on wildlife, footpath maps, and rulesincluding no overnight camping. The nearest village centre is Burton on the Wolds, a 3-kilometre walk away via a public footpath.
