Did you know it costs millions of pounds to manage the nation’s forests? Forestry England must raise enough money ourselves to continue growing and managing our forests now and for future generations. Your car parking fee supports us and the forests you love.
Our car park(s) is/are open all year round (except Christmas Day).
We operate a ticketless and cashless parking payment system that uses number plate recognition technology.
As you arrive, the system records your number plate. At the end of your visit pay at the pay station by entering your car registration. Your number plate will be recognised as you leave and the system will know you’ve paid the right amount for your visit.
Disabled parking available – normal parking charges apply.
