Parking

Wherever possible please use designated car parking areas.

Cleared roadside verges or wide access gates are not intended for visitor use. They are more likely to be important turning points for feed wagons or milk tankers.

Parking on roadside verges can often contribute to damage to stone walls which are both an intregral part of the beauty of the landscape and the means of keeping livestock from straying onto the road. In some areas they also contain important archaeological evidence such as the remains of the Ribblehead Viaduct ’navvy-town’ in Ribblesdale.

There are plenty of car parks across the Dales, some of which are managed by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority. Details are given below. Please note that any money collected from car parks managed by the Authority is used to care for the National Park.

Regrettably not all visitors come to the Dales to enjoy the peace and quiet and some actually come to steal from parked cars. Vehicles parked in remote and quiet locations are often the targets for thieves. Police advice is:

  • Always try to use recognised car parks.
  • Remember to lock all doors and the boot.
  • Keep valuable items with you or lock them out of sight.
