Free parking for Nunnery Lakes nature reserve
Nunnery Bridges Car Park is a council-operated unpaved gravel lot serving visitors to Nunnery Lakes Nature Reserve and adjacent riverside paths. It provides approximately 60 marked bays including six disabled-access spaces located near the gated entrance. Operating hours are sunriseĀsunset daily; no parking fees or time limits apply. The gravel surface is graded quarterly to maintain drainage, with minor ruts filled within 48 hours. No lighting is provided to conserve nocturnal wildlife activity, and one CCTV camera monitors entry and exit points. Pedestrian pathways lead directly to Nunnery Lakes visitor centre (3 minutesĀ walk), river trail access (1 minute), and to the nearest bus stop on Mill Way (5 minutes). Biweekly litter clearance and seasonal hedge trimming keep the area tidy. No EV charging is available; nearest public charger is at Pike Lane Car Park, Thetford, a 15-minute drive away.
