Parking

As an independent Charitable Trust, we receive no funding from the taxpayer and are totally reliant on income we generate ourselves. Income from parking helps us to provide great facilities and landscape for visitors to enjoy.

Parking charges are now in place at Nene Park Trust car parks at Ferry Meadows, Orton Meadows, Thorpe Meadows, Orton Mere and Thorpe Wood.

Three annual parking membership options are available for regular Park visitors and include a number of additional benefits. Please visit our parking membership page to find out more.
