Pay-and-Display Parking for Fourwents Pond & NT Nature Trails
Fourwents Pond NT Car Park is a rural, surface-level facility managed by the National Trust, serving visitors to Fourwents Pond and surrounding nature reserves near Holmwood. The lot offers 80 marked bays on a gravel surface, including four accessible spaces positioned closest to the pond viewing area. Operating 7 am 7 pm daily, parking is pay-and-display; machines accept coins and contactless cards, with a daily tariff that contributes to conservation efforts. CCTV cameras monitor entry and exit points during operating hours, and LED bollard lighting lines the pedestrian pathways for safe access after dusk. A well-marked footpath leads directly to Fourwents Ponds walking trails, bird hides, and picnic benches within a one-minute walk. There are no on-site EV chargers; the nearest rapid charging station is at Dorking Station Car Park, a fifteen-minute drive away. Covered cycle racks accommodating six bicycles are provided near the entrance to encourage eco-friendly travel. Seasonal maintenance includes gravel regrading and vegetation clearance to ensure unobstructed views and drainage.
