Parking JP46+XW, South Elmsall, Pontefract WF9 2DX
Free rural parking near South Elmsall junction and heritage trails
South Elmsall Junction Car Park is a free council-managed gravel lot located at the JP46+XW grid reference on Station Road, serving the junction of South Elmsall and South Kirkby. The unmarked facility accommodates approximately 20 vehicles; it operates from dawn until dusk; no overnight parking. There is no lighting or CCTV; daytime visits only. A laminated map card at the entrance displays local heritage trail routes (2 km circular) and wildlife-spotter tips (e.g., kingfishers along Upton Beck). Benches are positioned near the lot perimeter overlooking mixed pastures. Pedestrian paths lead directly to a footpath toward Wrangbrook Lane lay-by (0.5 km) and to local bus stops. Seasonal community events reduce capacity by 5; signage directs drivers to Exchange Street Car Park (1 km). Maintenance crews clear litter monthly and inspect drainage ditches quarterly.
