Car park closed 22-27 September
Our free car park at Brayton Barff will be closed to the public so we can complete some much needed work on its drainage channels. This will mean you can continue to enjoy the Barff with minimal disruption for years to come. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and we thank you for bearing with us.
Wander round some wonderful woodland at Brayton Barff
Our free car park is off Barff Lane, less than a mile to the west of Brayton (please note - there is a height barrier at the entrance). This woodland surrounding a covered reservoir is frequently visited for recreational activities such as walking, admiring the scenery and bird watching.
The undulating paths around the site are wide and well-surfaced, with no barriers to access for wheelchair and pushchair users such as steps and stiles. Climbing to the top of the hill offers visitors a rare viewpoint of the surrounding area, with its significant height relative to the miles and miles of flat land around it.
