Car Parking and Vehicle Use
Car Parking
Car parking for blue badge holders is sited at the point in the car park closest to the main pedestrian entrance from the car park to the village. Proportionate, limited numbers are available. These parking bays are surfaced with tarmac.
These are available on a “first come first served” basis.
Roads throughout the car park have a tarmac surface. However, the car parking bays are made of compacted stone.
There are two accessible EV charging points for electric vehicles located at the start of the car park near Security.
On Village Car Parking
Guest vehicles are only allowed access to the village on the day of arrival and departure for unloading and loading purposes.
In circumstances where the driver of a vehicle has a disability that renders them unable to transfer from the car park to the accommodation without a car, our Mobility Service will be on hand to help. If the party have booked wheelchair adapted accommodation, an accessible parking space is provided close to the accommodation. However, the vehicle may not be used to travel on site throughout the stay.
In circumstances where there is an absolute medical need to rely on a vehicle to be parked close to the accommodation throughout the course of the stay, which cannot be accommodated by the Center Parcs Mobility Vehicle, a permit for parking on Village will be provided. Wherever possible, such permits should be agreed in advance of the visit by our Guest Services team. Please note these are only granted where necessary.
Center Parcs Mobility Vehicle
An accessible vehicle is available, on request from Security, to transport guests with disabilities which limit their ability to
traverse the village on foot around site. It is also available for transport to booked activities off site, where the guest is unable to use the transport normally provided. Where the use of this is for a booked activity, please arrange at time of booking activity or arrival on site for pre arrivals bookings. This service is offered on a first come first served basis.
Speed Limit
Please note that the speed limit on the village is 10 mph and that many children play and use bicycles around the site.
Village Roads, Paths & General Topography
Roads throughout the village have a tarmac surface. Due to the natural setting, roads do not have pavements.
There are a few inclines on site, although these are not severe.
Paths
Main paths are brick paved and tarmac topped with small stones but again due to the natural setting and extent of the pathways, many are crushed stone which can become weathered.
Bicycles are permitted on most paths around the site, (with few exceptions in very central areas).
Some paths crossing main roadways are provided with tactile blister paving at crossings and some external steps throughout the site are provided with corduroy paving top and bottom to aid visually impartments. This is an ongoing project and there may be areas of the site where this is not the case.
Lighting
Lighting levels provided after dark have been designed not to compromise the rural environment and to minimise light pollution and are therefore substantially less than would be found in an urban setting.
