Free Permit Parking for Horsley Meadows Walks
Horsley Meadows Car Park is a rural surface facility located off Long Reach Lane in West Horsley, serving visitors accessing the Horsley Meadows floodplain and local footpaths. The lot offers approximately 40 gravel-surfaced bays, including two disabled spaces closest to the pedestrian gate. Operating 7 am7 pm daily, parking is free but requires display of a valid Guildford Borough Council permit or pay-by-phone registration; no on-site ticket machine is available. There is no CCTV coverage; low-level solar lighting lines the footpath to the meadow entrance for safe access during daytime and twilight hours. A short footpath leads directly to Horsley Meadows walking routes, horse-riding bridleways, and riverside views of the River Mole within a two-minute walk. There are no local bus stops; visitors are advised to arrive by private vehicle or bicycle. Covered cycle racks accommodating four cycles are provided to encourage sustainable travel. Seasonal gravel maintenance ensures proper drainage and prevents potholes.
