Errwood Hall car park is a small car park that is managed by the Forestry Commission; parking is free. **** Google Maps may show a route to the car park from Derbyshire Bridge along the Goyt Valley - you cannot take a car along this route. The only way to the car park is via Buxton to the A5004 Manchester Road and turn off left to the Goyt Valley. You will go over the Errwood Reservoir and then turn left and travel down the valley to the car park. ****
