Pay-and-Display Parking for Box Hill Zig-Zag Trailhead
Zig-Zag Car Park is a surface-level facility serving Box Hill Souths main hiking trails and National Trust visitor amenities. The lot offers 150 gravel-surfaced bays, including ten accessible spaces located near the pedestrian entrance. Operating 7 am 8 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 pay station during operating hours. LED bollard lighting lines pedestrian pathways to ensure safe access after dusk. A well-marked footpath leads directly to the Box Hill Zig Zag trailhead and visitor center within a two-minute walk. Seasonal shuttle buses operate from Dorking Station during peak months. Local bus stops on Zig Zag Road provide limited services to Dorking and Guildford. EV charging is not available on-site; the nearest rapid charging station is at Box Hill East Car Park a ten-minute drive away. Covered cycle racks accommodating twenty bicycles are provided near the visitor center to encourage sustainable travel. Regular gravel resurfacing ensures proper drainage and prevents potholes.
