About this car park

Moorhead is a very small council car park in Eskdale with seven general-use spaces.

Cumberland Council publishes two daytime tariffs and a campervan overnight vehicle-parking charge. Because the site is tiny and rural, arrive with a second option and follow all local signs regarding overnight use.
