Pay-and-Display Parking for Sulham Woods Nature Reserve
Sulham Woods Car Park is a rural, open-air facility serving visitors to the Sulham Woods nature reserve and riverside trails. The lot offers 50 gravel-surfaced bays, including two accessible spaces located near the trailhead entrance. Operating 8 am–8 pm daily, parking is pay-and-display, with machines accepting coins and contactless payments; seasonal permits for frequent visitors are available from the local council. The site is monitored by CCTV cameras focused on the entrance and pay station during operating hours. LED bollard lighting lines the main pathway for safe evening access. A clearly marked footpath leads to the Sulham Woods trail network within a one-minute walk, passing interpretive panels about local wildlife. Public transport is limited; the nearest bus stop on Sulham Hill offers services to Pangbourne and Reading during peak hours. EV charging is not available on-site; the nearest public rapid charger can be found at Reading Station car park a twenty-minute drive away. A covered cycle rack accommodating six bicycles is provided to encourage visitors to cycle.
