    Phone Ribblehead pub and ask if you can leave it there

    You can park on the road in Horton near the campsite past the cafe. Safe enough, I reckon

    Yes, don’t worry. People do this kind of thing a lot in the country.

    Ribblehead – really can’t see a problem with this, unless it’s a camper van. In any case, you can just leave it in the parking places down from the Station Inn where the junction is.

    Dent – less space to park, IIRC, so might be slightly more problematic. Still can’t see it being a major issue.

    You driving out, touring then getting a train back? Not too many trains on a Sunday into RH or Dent so be careful!

    driving out, touring for 2 days, the ride back to car. I will leave it at the junction. car is a pile of crap anyhow, would do us a favour if it got lifted……. 😉

    So no train involved? Loads of good spots around. Leaving a note in the windscreen may prevent a callout, but I’m not sure anyone gives a hoot anyhow.

    FWIW I’d go from Horton. You could park up in the little gravel layby-track at the end of the village or on the road by the campsite for a couple of nights no bother. Plus brekkie in the cafe prior to departure. 😀

    not so much lifted then, but if pile of crap might be easiest to leave unlocked. Just a thought.

    Try Gunnerfleet Farm 01524 242366. Offer a tenner if they’ll let you safely park your car near their holiday let. It’s the farm after passing under the viaduct.

    Another option is parking close to Gearstones Lodge about a mile further north
