National Trust Car Park (£6 all day or free if you are a member of the National Trust. there is a narrow road that leads to the Parking area, DO NOT take a right turn to the lower car park. Continue to the cattle grid along the top, where you will spot the parking meter, I tend stop at this point to get my ticket and find a space to park.
