The Abbey Car Park is located near to the main centre of the park offering easy access to our courtyard, gardens, play area, Abbey Tales experience and catering facilities. 

The Mill Car Park is located next to Rufford Lake and has access to the woodland and lake walk. You are also able to access our boating lake (when open) and a number of catering facilities located in the Mill Courtyard.

Rufford is very popular during school holidays and weekends and would highly recommend arriving early to avoid a wait for parking spaces. 

Please note we do have limited car park capacity so there may be occasions that the park is closed but we endeavour to reopen as soon as spaces become available. Peak hours are between 11.30am - 2pm, we would advise arriving early to enjoy a full day at the park!
