We booked Chatswoth car parking for the day ,booked to arrive at 11am paid the £4.00 on line printed the pass to show on arrival , drove 44miles straight up to the car parking booth showed ticket from inside to car park attendant then found a parking place away from other vehicles then put kettle on . We had a great day, lunch on grass next to the motorhome away from any other people ,then walked round the estate returning for tea, again sat on our loungers on the grass next to the motorhome . Never felt unsafe  never came into contact with anyone great to move again ( last time out Chatswoth cmc site 22 march ) stayed until 6pm cost £4.00 + diesel super day out.

                                               NEXT MOVE.

Booked Clumber park for our next parking dayout Friday 12 June 9am this time it is free to national trust members cannot wait the Knaus is on the move again .

 

           Stay safe enjoy car parking.     Pete .

    We are only about 44 miles from Chatsworth as well. Sounds like a good idea. Will have to book a slot for the next time we want to take the MH for a run.😀

    I looked up booking an NT parking slot at Stourhead, apart from it being fully booked I noticed they were only allowing campervans that are the main vehicle. I think bookings are released on Fridays but maybe it will be a changing scenario.

    Clumber park also states campervans but I called and they say motorhome is OK ,I think people do not know the difference  between the two ,I would check .

    You need to get exploring sorento, thousands of wonderful places to picnic in isolation in South Yorks, or just over county borders in Derbyshire, Notts and Lincolnshire. No pre booking and payment needed. We are giving it another couple of weeks, see how the R number goes, then we have a fabulous little day planned somewhere rather unknown........

    Glad you had a good time. 👍

    Just had a look at the Chatsworth web site. As from the 10th June parking at the house is only allowed if you buy a garden ticket. So for 2 adults the cost is £28. Parking is still possible for £4 at Calton Lees.

    The plus side is that there is plenty of availability and the garden is very good. We will give it a go one day midweek, as long as I can get a booking after I am fairly certain about the weather. Don't fancy forking out £28 to walk round in the pouring rain.😂

    Steve (and others close to SY) have a look at this

    https://wentworthestate.co.uk

    As far as I am aware, the estate is open, as are all the associated footpaths to various monuments and the exterior of the two churches. Car parking in the village is free, the village is preserved and worth a wander around in its own right, before you even tackle the Estate walks with its three lakes. You cannot cycle the Estate though. There are monuments scattered all over worth a look, but the big house is simply stunning. 

    Adjacent to the Estate on the edge of the village is the Garden Centre, with a very big free car park. It should now be fully open, apart from the restaurant. If the Walled Garden is open, well worth a look around for a small fee.
