Prices accurate as at May 2026; the local council reviews them periodically, so check the meter or the pay-by-phone app before you park.
Barlows Mews: no private parking. You can unload at the end of the mews, but the car needs to move after. Greys Road or one of the long-stays above is the practical answer.
Duck Cottage & Swan's Nest: each has its own space in a private gated car park just off Greys Road Car Park. Please don't block other reserved spaces, if you arrive with a larger vehicle, use the public options instead.
