Burnsall visitors are being urged to plan ahead after the closure of a major parking field left parking in the village extremely limited.
The Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority has appealed to visitors to consider alternative destinations following the closure of Burnsall Park, a popular car parking field, by its landowner earlier this month.
Officials say finding a legal parking space in Burnsall is now likely to be "very difficult", particularly during weekends and periods of good weather.
Anyone planning to visit nearby Bolton Abbey is also being advised to book tickets online in advance, as entry cannot be guaranteed without a pre-booking.
Police, traffic enforcement officers and National Park Rangers will be patrolling the area to help keep roads clear, maintain access for residents and emergency services, and encourage responsible behaviour, including taking litter home and avoiding barbecues.
Derek Twine, Chair of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, said:
"The reality is that without the Burnsall parking field there are very few spaces available for visitors arriving by car.
"Anyone travelling to Burnsall expecting to find parking for the day, particularly at weekends or during periods of warm weather, is likely to be disappointed. People staying overnight or arriving by public transport will still find much to enjoy.
"The closure is expected to increase demand for parking in nearby villages in Wharfedale, including Linton and Grassington, which are already experiencing high visitor numbers. Visitors are strongly encouraged to think carefully before travelling and consider alternative locations.
"The Yorkshire Dales is a welcoming place, and tourism is a vital part of the local economy with many businesses and communities relying on visitors.
"However, that welcome must be matched by respect for the people who live and work here, and for the landscape that makes the National Park such a special place to visit."
He added:
"As we enter another period of hot, dry weather, there is a continued risk of wildfires and dangers around open water.
"We are asking everyone to act responsibly: park legally, take all litter home, don't light barbecues, and take extra care around rivers and other open water.
"By making thoughtful choices about where, when and how they visit, people can help protect both this special landscape and the communities that call it home."
The National Park Authority says visitors can still enjoy the Yorkshire Dales by considering alternative locations or travelling by public transport where possible.
