Free Rural Parking for Pitchfont Lane Common
Pitchfont Lane Car Park is a large, open-air facility in the outskirts of Oxted, providing parking for visitors to Limpsfield Chart and surrounding countryside. The lot offers approximately 100 gravel-surfaced bays, including five accessible spaces positioned near the main footpath leading to Pitchfont Lane Common. Operating daily from 7 am to 7 pm, parking is free but requires a visible Oxted & Limpsfield Parish Council parking permit; pay-by-phone registration is also required. No CCTV coverage or lighting is provided, so use during daylight hours is strongly recommended. A well-marked footpath leads directly from the lot into Pitchfont Lane Commons network of grassland trails, open meadows, and nature observation points within a two-minute walk. Bicycle racks accommodating up to ten cycles are available to encourage sustainable access, though there is no dedicated EV charging. Regular gravel maintenance ensures stable ground conditions and proper drainage, minimizing mud after rain.
