Free scenic parking at Orwell Country Park
Orwell Country Park Car Park is a council-operated surface lot serving Orwell Country Park. It provides 150 marked bays including eight disabled spaces located near the main visitor centre entrance. Operating hours are sunriseĀsunset daily; no charges apply. The gravel-and-asphalt surface is graded for drainage and inspected quarterly; patch repairs are completed within 48 hours. LED bollard lighting provides minimal illumination for early-morning anglers and late-evening walkers, and two CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and pedestrian paths. Pedestrian pathways lead directly to the Visitor Centre (1 minute walk), to fishing platforms (3 minutes), and to walking trails (5 minutes). Two Type 2 EV charging bays are situated near the entrance, available on a pay-as-you-go basis. Weekly litter clearance and hedge trimming maintain a pristine environment.
