Trentabank Car Park – Peak District NP Clarke Ln, Sutton, Macclesfield SK11 0NS
Free National Trust parking for The Roaches and Five Clouds Ridge
Trentabank Car Park is a National Trustmanaged gravel and tarmac lot located on Clarke Lane within the Peak District National Park boundary, serving walkers heading to The Roaches and Five Clouds Ridge. The unmarked facility accommodates approximately 60 vehicles on a first-come basis; it opens at 6 am and closes at dusk, with no overnight parking. There is no lighting or CCTV; park in daylight hours only. A National Trust information board provides detailed maps of the 10 km Roaches Circuit, historical notes on the Roman road, and wildlife-spotting guides (e.g., peregrine falcons, wild ponies). Benches and picnic tables provide resting points overlooking Tittesworth Reservoir. Pedestrian trails lead directly to The Roaches summit trailhead (200 m) and to connecting routes toward Wildboarclough (3 km). Seasonal guided walks and fell races reduce capacity by up to 15%; signage directs overflow to a satellite lay-by on Leek Road (2 km) with timed shuttle bus. Maintenance crews clear litter monthly and remove bracken growth annually.
