If you’re a regular visitor or resident a car parking annual permit offers a convenient and cost-effective way to park in our managed car parks. While we oversee many car parks across the National Park, others are run by different providers with additional free parking in more remote areas. This page provides everything you need to know about permits, Blue Badge parking, and penalty payments or appeals. For a full list of car park locations, check our Lake District Car Parks page. Every parking fee helps support the conservation of this stunning landscape for future generations.
We manage car parks around the National Park, as do the National Trust and local councils. There are also free smaller car parks in more remote areas. Check details and locations on all main car parks around the Lake District.
The map below shows the car parks run by the Lake District National Park Authority.
Car Parking Annual Permits can be bought online for our car parks.
All our car parks have blue badge holder spaces - please display your blue badge. Our charges apply to all vehicles, including blue badge holders. However, we do allow an extra hour for blue badge holders.
