Free parking for Bollington village, canal, and Teggs Nose access
Pool Bank Car Park is a free, Cheshire East Councilmanaged surface tarmac facility located on Palmerston Street in Bollington, serving local residents, village shops, and outdoor enthusiasts heading to Teggs Nose Country Park. The lot offers 70 marked bays, including four Blue Badge spaces near the pedestrian gate and one motorcycle bay. It operates from dawn until dusk; no pay-and-display. There is no lighting or CCTV; daytime visits only. A council noticeboard displays maps for the Gritstone Trail onward routes, notes on local textile heritage at Clarence Mill, and wildlife-spotting tips (e.g., dippers along Macclesfield Canal). Benches and picnic tables are provided near the lots perimeter overlooking the village green. Pedestrian paths lead directly to Bollington shops (100 m), Macclesfield Canal towpath access (200 m), and Teggs Nose Country Park entrance (3 km). Seasonal craft fairs and summer festivals reduce capacity by 15%; signage directs drivers to Round Meadow Car Park (5 km). Maintenance crews clear litter weekly and trim hedgerows quarterly.
