Access for motorhomes

This car park has access for motor homes.

It is covered by Traffic Regulation Orders which contain height restrictions and a requirement to park within a bay, however the following car parks we will make exceptions (including relaxed height restrictions) for motor homes provided the following requirements are met:

  • where a motor home cannot fit into a single parking bay due to its length, the driver must purchase two pay and display tickets for the two bays occupied
