Errwood Hall Parking Buxton SK11 0AR
Free parking for Errwood Reservoir walks, wildlife viewing, and hall ruins
Errwood Hall Parking is a free, Peak District National Park Authoritymanaged gravel lot located at the eastern end of Errwood Reservoir, serving walkers, anglers, and mountain bikers exploring the Goyt Valley and Errwood Hall ruins. The unmarked facility accommodates approximately 80 vehicles on a first-come basis and operates from dawn until dusk; overnight parking is prohibited. No lighting or CCTV is provided, so daytime visits are recommended. An information board at the lot entrance provides detailed maps of the 4 km walk around the reservoir, historical notes on Errwood Halls 19th-century estate, and wildlife-spotting guides (e.g., red grouse, oystercatchers). Benches and picnic tables overlook the tranquil reservoir. Pedestrian paths lead directly to the Errwood Hall ruins (200 m), the path to Lantern Pike (4 km), and cross-reservoir footbridges. Seasonal angling competitions reduce capacity by 20%; overflow parking directs drivers to the Cat and Fiddle lay-by (5 km). Maintenance crews clear litter monthly and inspect drainage quarterly.
