Free Rural Parking for Redmires Reservoir Walks
Redmires Plantation Car Park is a wooded-edge surface facility located off Redmires Road, providing access to the Redmires Reservoirs and surrounding walking trails. The lot offers approximately 100 gravel-surfaced bays, including five accessible spaces positioned near the pedestrian entrance. Operating 7 am7 pm daily, parking is free but requires registration via a pay-by-phone system; no on-site payment machines are available. No CCTV coverage or lighting is provided, so visitors are advised to use the lot during daylight hours. A clearly marked footpath leads from the lot to Redmires Reservoirs walking paths, birdwatching hides, and scenic viewpoints within a two-minute walk. Local bus stops on Redmires Road provide limited services to Fulwood and Sheffield. EV charging is not available on-site; the nearest rapid charger is at Parkers Lane Car Park, a ten-minute drive away. Covered cycle racks accommodating ten bicycles are provided to encourage sustainable access. Seasonal gravel grading maintains even surfaces and prevents standing water.
