Pay & Display Parking for Haywood Nature Trails
Haywood Car Park is a surface-level facility located off A6187 near Grindleford, serving as the main parking area for visitors to the National Trusts Longshaw Estate northern entrance and the Grindleford village. The lot offers approximately 120 gravel-surfaced bays, including four accessible spaces near the entrance gate. Operating 7 am8 pm daily, parking is pay-and-display; machines accept coins and contactless cards, with a moderate daily fee that supports woodland conservation. No CCTV coverage or lighting is provided, so daytime use is recommended for safety. A paved footpath leads directly to the Northern medieval haywood trails, the Longshaw Estate visitor center, and Grindleford village within a three-minute walk. Local bus stops on the A6187 provide limited services to Sheffield City Centre and Bakewell. Covered cycle racks accommodating up to ten bicycles are provided near the entrance to encourage sustainable travel. Seasonal gravel maintenance ensures stable ground conditions and minimizes mud.
