Parking in Lyme Regis

There are lots of places to park in Lyme Regis for cars, motorbikes, motorhomes, coaches and caravans. 

Ticket machines will accept cash, however you can also pay at most of the car parks with Just Park by mobile phone or smartphone App. 

All car parks are open 24 hours a day and and none have height restrictions. There are 2 car parks with wide bays for motorhomes and long bays for coaches, caravans, large vans and motorhomes longer than 6 metres.
