Pay-and-Display Parking for Ardingly Village & College
Street Lane Car Park is a rural, surface-level facility serving Ardingly village residents, visitors to Ardingly College, and local walkers. The lot offers 80 gravel-surfaced bays, including six accessible spaces positioned closest to the pedestrian entrance. Operating 7 am 7 pm daily, parking is pay-and-display; machines accept coins and contactless card payments, with a flat daily tariff and no evening or weekend surcharges. CCTV cameras monitor the entrance and central aisles during operating hours. LED bollard lighting lines the footpaths to ensure safe access after dusk. A well-marked footpath leads directly to the village center, Ardingly College campus, and the Bluebell Railway station within a three-minute walk. Limited bus services on Street Lane connect Ardingly with Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill. EV charging is not available on-site; the nearest rapid charging station is at Wakehurst Place Car Park a ten-minute drive away. Covered cycle racks accommodating six bicycles are provided near the entrance to encourage eco-friendly travel. Seasonal leaf clearance prevents slippery conditions, and the lot is graded quarterly to maintain proper drainage and prevent standing water.
