Countryside parking for tea shop visitors with free access and accessible bays
Manor Farm Tea Shoppe Car Park is a free surfaced lot accommodating 30 bays for visitors to the listed Manor Farm Tea Shoppe and adjacent village amenities. Operating hours are 8 am–6 pm daily; no lighting is provided to preserve the historic setting. Two accessible bays surfaced with compacted stone are positioned within 5 m of the tea shop entrance, each equipped with drop-kerb ramps and tactile paving. In 2024, the gravel was regraded and compacted to ensure a stable surface, and drainage trenches were added along the northern boundary to prevent water pooling. Informational signage at the entrance displays local walking trail maps, village history, and tea shop opening hours. Volunteer parish council members conduct weekly patrols to clear litter and assist tourists. A covered duck-pond viewing area adjacent to the lot provides a scenic space for visitors. Directional signage inside the lot guides drivers to the exit onto Station Road.
