How to apply for a Nelson Pit Visitor Centre car park annual permit
There is no individual parking permit for the Nelson Pit car park, but you can buy a multi-site parking permit, which also gives you parking rights to Tegg's Nose Country Park, Macclesfield and Brereton Heath Local Nature Reserve near Congleton.
Your new parking permit will be posted out to you. You must continue to pay for your parking at the pay and display machine until you receive your permit.
This multi-site parking permit can be purchased online via the apply for a countryside parking permit form.
There is no overnight parking permitted for annual permit holders.
Existing permit holders need to apply for a countryside parks parking permit to renew their permit.
Before applying for a parking permit, review the parking permit terms and conditions.
Individual annual permits are available for Tegg’s Nose Country Park and Brereton Heath Local Nature Reserve car parks.
What to do if you change one (or both) of the vehicles shown on your Annual Parking Permit
