Dunstable Downs

[Noodles]

Has anybody taken their motorhome to Dunstable Downs? .I've looked on google earth and as far as I can see all the car parks seem to have standard size spaces. There are spaces for coaches only. :-D

The car park next to the centre is operated by the National Trust jointly with Central Beds Council.

 

We visit national trust properties often and find that the best approach is to call the venue to check on motorhomeparking before we set out. Most national trust places will let you park in the coach bays as long as they don't have coaches booked in that day.

The centre's number is: 01582 500920

Note the car park is only open 10.00 until dusk.

Access is good - Previously I was involved in developing the centre and larger vehicles are catered for.

 

Enjoy the view!

I've parked there in my 6 metre long panel van conversion and there was a longer coachbuilt there as well. Choose a spot furthest from the centre where it's likely to have less cars parked to make a bit easier. Parking is free for NT members displaying a current NT car park sticker, otherwise I think it's £2.00.

Thank you both for your replies. We will take your advice and see how we get on, we may enough find somewhere nearby if it's a nice w/end to camp for the night (>)

You could also try Ivinghoe Beacon which is part of the Ashridge Estate, also NT. A large free car park which usually has plenty of room during the week, I expect it gets busier at weekends. But the approach road is a little narrow often with sheep or cattle to negotiate!
