Railway Car Park is a free, Staffordshire County Councilmanaged gravel lay-by located on Rushton Road in Rushton Spencer, serving the local community and visitors to the Tittesworth Reservoir area. The unmarked facility accommodates approximately 30 vehicles on a first-come basis; it operates from dawn until dusk; no overnight parking is permitted. There is no lighting or CCTV; parking in daylight recommended. A council noticeboard at the entrance displays maps for local footpaths (5 km circular around the Peak District fringes), historical notes on the disused railway line, and wildlife-spotting guides (e.g., dippers, kingfishers). Benches and picnic tables are placed near the lots perimeter overlooking rolling farmland. Pedestrian paths lead directly to the old railway bridge footpath (0.10 km) and onward to Tittesworth Reservoir (3 km). Seasonal reservoir events (regattas, open-water swims) reduce capacity by 10; overflow parking is directed to Leek Road lay-by (2 km). Maintenance crews clear litter monthly and trim hedgerows quarterly.
