Paid parking for Clumber Parks historic mansion and trails
Managed by the National Trust, Clumber Park Car Park is a large surface tarmac facility located just off the A614, serving Clumber Parks mansion, gardens, and extensive lakeside trails. The lot offers 500 marked bays, including 20 Blue Badge spaces closest to the visitor centre, six motorcycle bays, and four coach bays. It operates 8 am7 pm daily in peak season (MarOct) and 9 am5 pm NovFeb; charges are £6.00 per vehicle for up to 12 hours, payable at pay machines accepting coins, contactless, or membership cards. LED floodlights ensure illumination until closing time, and CCTV cameras monitor all aisles. Pedestrian exits lead directly to the visitor centre entrance (0.02 km), café (0.05 km), and the north lakeside trailhead. Two 22 kW EV fast chargers are available for £0.35 per kWh, billed via QR code. Seasonal summer events (lifestyle festivals, cycling races) reduce capacity by 25%; temporary parking is directed to a satellite field lot (0.5 km) with a shuttle bus service. Maintenance crews repaint bay lines each spring, repair potholes biannually, and clear litter daily.
