Car parking Charges List

[geejayy]

the (currently) free list. (as far as i know.)

um, where do i start?

chesil, portland, between the fish shop & the little ship inn (portland side of masonic carpark , 72 hours free)

calshot, when you hit the beach huts, turn right there is some free parking on the roadside on the hill i think?


magazine lane, aka-snaggy alley. if you drive down the road and on down the track beside the ditch, at the bottom there's a gravel carpark through the wall on your left .
its smaller than it used to be but would hold approx 20 cars.
best o luck backing all the way back to the road when there's no space left to turn.

hurst shingle bank, the white bridge ,
there are free parkng spaces along the lower section of the road,
the higher section beside the channel that runs to stert pond has been widened by people continually parking there but i'm told parking tickets get issued occasionally there esp' when cars are parked blocking the road.

lee on solent, monks hill carpark, eastern end of prom,
free 24/7 .

.................................................. ..................................................

lots of car parks are free of charge over night, just check the tarrif boards thoroughly,especially the times.--

stokesbay rnli/boat yard slipway c/p. free 7pm-10am, times an approxamation
check the board.

.................................................. ..................................................

also a lot of roads offer free parking 'out of hours' where otherwise restrictions apply --

avon beach along the 'firtrees' 7pm -8am approx.

southbourne, in marked areas, 7pm-8am again approx.

lee on solent , along the prom, not sure of times.

we could add more as we find/ think of them but there's a little paranoid thought of mine that recons that when we've published the ones we find useful the local councils will go buy more bloody ticket machines

If you want to fish southsea, park on the streets around the pier not on the seafront .

Little update on Lyme Regis - Monmouth beach Car park is now 40p for the night after 9pm.

Burnham on Sea. There is no charge to park along the sea front during the winter months even though the meter states that there is!
The charges were scrapped a couple of years ago during the winter BUT the tarrif information was not updated.

Teignmouth. Lighthouse car park (Turn right at the seafront) £1.20/hr during the day. Free after 6pm. Gives access to beach and back beach.

Brixham Quarry car park with footpath to the quay £7 for 24 hours. Alternatively, from the main road, turn left signposted Northfields lane industrial estate, drive all the way along this road and then turn left. Follow the one way system along the top of the cliffs then park for free on Higher Furzham Road and walk down the hill. To get back up the hill do what the locals do and get a taxi near the town centre bus stop. Get out at the top of the hill before the meter clicks over.
