Very nice and free parking lot. Unfortunately, there are only 3 pillars available for electric vehicles, each with only 1 charging option (instead of the usual 2). Unfortunately, after 30 minutes, the charging was interrupted, and when we returned to the vehicle after 3 hours, 2 out of 3 charging stations were offline.
Be careful if you're planning on charging your EV here - six spaces for EVs but only one socket on each station (other permanently covered) and today one station with cover over it. No limit on free charging so cars will stay here for the duration of a visit - we arrived half an hour before opening, both sockets in use, same cars using when we returned
Good large car park giving access to Studley Royal and ruins of Abbey both well worth the visit.
Handy 7kw EV chargers, six in total. Good sized car park near the entrance.
Gravel carpark with lots of different trees and birds around it.
