Coldmans Slade Car Park is a free council-run gravel lay-by located off the A513, serving visitors to Great Haywood Lock and the Shugborough estate trails. The unmarked area accommodates approximately 50 vehicles and is open from dawn until dusk; no overnight parking. No payment machines, lighting, or CCTV are provided; daytime visits only. An information board at the entrance displays local canal heritage, walking route maps along the Trent & Mersey Canal towpath (0.1 km), and seasonal wildlife spotting tips (e.g., herons, kingfishers). Wooden benches overlook the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal. Pedestrian paths lead to Great Haywood village (0.2 km) and Shugborough Estate (1 km). Seasonal canal festivals reduce capacity by 20; signage directs drivers to Shugborough Estate main lot (3 km). Volunteer maintenance teams clear fallen vegetation quarterly and repair minor surface erosion.
