Parking Wrangbrook Ln, Upton, Pontefract WF9 1LN
Free rural parking for Upton village and canal walks
Wrangbrook Lane Parking is a free council-managed gravel lay-by situated off Wrangbrook Lane in Upton, serving the local community and nearby farmland footpaths. The unmarked facility can accommodate approximately 15 vehicles on a first-come basis; it is open from dawn until dusk with no overnight parking. There is no lighting or CCTV; daytime visits only. A laminated notice at the entrance displays walking routes along Upton Beck (2 km) and wildlife-spotting tips (e.g., barn owls, badgers). Benches are positioned near the lot perimeter overlooking agricultural fields. Pedestrian paths lead directly to the Upton village hall (0.2 km) and to a footpath toward the Barnsley Canal remnant (3 km). Seasonal local fete days reduce capacity by 5; signage directs drivers to on-street parking on Upton Lane (0.5 km). Maintenance crews clear litter monthly and inspect drain gullies quarterly.
