Paid parking for Rudyard Lakes northern attractions
Rudyard Lake North Car Park is a privately managed (Merlin Attractions) tarmac lot on Reacliffe Road, serving the northern end of Rudyard Lake and the Adventure Golf course. The facility offers 120 marked bays, including six Blue Badge spaces and two motorcycle bays. It is open 8 am to 9 pm daily; a charge of £3.00 per car applies, payable via automated machines that accept coins and contactless. LED lighting ensures visibility until dusk, and CCTV covers all entry and exit. Pedestrian access leads to the lakeside (0.05 km), miniature railway station (0.1 km), and the northern reservoirside café. Benches and picnic tables are available near the shore. Seasonal steam train services operate on weekends and bank holidays between April and October, with shuttle buses from this lot to the main station.
