Forestry England are not currently planning to make any additional closures to its car parks in the New Forest during lockdown. As usual at this time of year, a small number of car parks are closed due to ongoing maintenance and those vulnerable to flooding and damage in bad weather, but there are still over 100 car parks open. You can see a list of the car park closures on
Forestry England's website.
At this time, the toilet facilities at Bolderwood, Blackwater, Whitefield Moor and Wilverley remain open, however the toilets at Anderwood and Hatchet Pond remain closed because social distancing requirements cannot be met at this time, there are alternative toilet facilities in nearby village car parks.
The Council parking service operates 51 car parks in total. These incorporate 1,438 short stay spaces, 4,671 long stay spaces and 257 disabled spaces. Please see below the general charges at most of these car parks:
£1.00 up to 1 hour
£2.00 up to 2 hours
£2.50 up to 3 hours
£3.00 up to 4 hours
£4.00 up to 5 hours
