Car park
Pay-and-display car park, open dawn till dusk. Free for members; scan your membership card for an all-day ticket. Charges for non-members: £1 an hour, £3 all day.
Dogs
Please keep your dog on a lead between late February and August as there are ground-nesting birds such as lapwings at Badbury. Be aware of grazing livestock; pregnant sheep are often so stressed by dogs running loose that they can abort their young. Dog poo can cause serious harm to livestock, so please pick up and dispose of your dog's poo safely.
