Village parking with accessible bays, pay-and-display, and walkable access to Lavenhams historic center.
Water Street Public Car Park is a council-run facility situated on the outskirts of Lavenham village, providing 60 sealed asphalt bays. Two accessible bays are located adjacent to the pedestrian path leading to Lavenhams Guildhall and historic square. Pay-and-display machines accept coins and contactless cards; tariffs are £1 per hour with a four-hour maximum stay, and a daily cap of £5 applies thereafter. Solar-powered LED bollard lights illuminate walkways from dusk until 10 pm, while one CCTV camera monitors the entrance. Covered information boards display local walking trail maps, village historical information, and bus timetables. Pedestrian routes lead directly to the River Brett towpath and Lavenhams textile heritage museum within a three-minute walk. Bi-monthly maintenance includes line repainting, litter collection, and pothole inspections to maintain a clean environment for tourists and residents.
