Building works at the Devil's Punch Bowl café

The first phase of our car park project has progressed well and we’re now ready to begin the next phase. As well as creating the new area of car park, which will eventually replace the overflow parking area, work has been completed around the café to remove old paving and improve drainage. The next few months will see some disruption on site with the main section of the old car park being dug up and the old surface recycled into hard core to support the new surface. During this phase we’ll have less parking spaces available, so you might not be able to find a space when you visit. We advise arriving early and avoiding weekends where possible. Thank you for your patience whilst this important work is underway.

On March 1 work will begin on the car park which, on completion, will make it easier for visitors to park safely at Hindhead Commons and the Devil’s Punch Bowl. When it’s completed, in late summer, there will be 30 more car parking spaces with log-marked bays.

In September Hindhead Commons and the Devil’s Punch Bowl café opened the very first Changing Places toilet at a National Trust venue in London and South East. This facility provides the right equipment and enough space for a disabled person and up to two carers to use the toilet safely and comfortably.
