I'm finding Streetmap is hopeless with grid refs (or I can't work it!).
However:
Carpark in Edale Village near the railway station has a charge. High Peak
Borough website says �5/day.
Carpark 1.3km WSW on minor road which leads to Upper Booth is free.
I was in the area about a week ago.

Very popular car park. You're wise to get there early if that's
really where you want to be.

It works fine so long as you remember to include the letters too. So
if you search for SK124853 you'll find Edale.

Yes, you should be OK, it is very large and has toilets.
But as has been mentioned there is free parking past the railway
bridge on the single track road to Upper Booth is free, and there are
paths from there to Edale, Chapel Gate, Jacobs Ladder etc. Must be
space for 30 cars, a few weeks I got there c. 11:00 on a Tuesday and
there was plenty of space.

Outside the holidays, yes, probably but it will be by no
means empty ! :-D

I agree with Ted. I don't park in Edale these days. I use the parking
space at Upper Booth. It's still full on the weekends, mind.

Was pretty empty on Sunday, but that could be because I'd got the
football times muddled up (doesn't sound like I missed anything). The
Pay and Display machines have gone to be replaced by someone sitting
in a booth but they still won't accept notes (cite some probably
non-existant "security" issues), which is rather ludicrous for a £5
charge. If you are going to use that one instead of the free one then
I think it's free after 6, so you can get away without an all day fee
if you start late enough. There's enough daylight at this time of year
to get a good walk starting at 4ish, with the additional plus that
it's usually much quieter by then.

Parked today at the Parish Council car park next to the railway station.
Only one other car in it, should have been a charge of £4, but no attendant,
no honesty box.
They obviously only man it at weekends and bank holidays....

Well, I did say you wouldn't be alone :-D
But did you have a good walk ?

Superb. Must have been the second hottest day of the year!

Do not park here. If the railway company is using the area they will move the vehicle often not very carefully
