Car Parking

Designated car parks are available at all Country Parks, apart from Jubilee Wood. Some car parks cost £1.50 to use.

Car Park Season Tickets

In order to improve the collection of parking fees and security, pay on entry machines and barriers have been installed at the Car Parks at Beacon Hill, Market Bosworth and Watermead (North) Country Parks.  
At Broombriggs Farm, Burrough Hill, Bosworth Battlefield Visitor Centre, Sutton Cheney Wharf and Shenton Station pay and display machines are available.
It is, however, possible to buy a Car Park Season Ticket for all the Country Parks run by the Country Parks Service (Season tickets are not available for individual locations, except at Bosworth Battlefield Visitor Centre where the Exhibition Season Ticket includes free car parking).
