Rustic, free parking for Swithland Wood nature walks
Serving the Nottingham Forest community near Swithland Wood, this gravel car park accommodates around 25 vehicles. Three disabled bays are clearly marked by white paint. There is no charge, but seasonal signage requests voluntary contributions for maintenance. The site is adjacent to a childrens play area and bordered by mature oak and beech trees. No lighting is provided, so visitors are advised to arrive and depart during daylight hours. A footpath entrance leads directly into Swithland Wood Nature Reserve within a two-minute walk, featuring waymarked trails for walkers and mountain bikers. The nearest bus stop is on Forest Road, approximately 500 metres away, providing service to Nottingham city centre every 30 minutes. Mobile reception is patchy due to the rural setting.
