Parking in Dorchester

[Nigel L]

Heading to Dorchester for the day tomorrow.
Any ideas for a car park reasonably central, for a 6.4m PVC.
Thanks.

Cannot answer that, but I would recommend popping into Poundbury on the way/way back and stocking up at the House of Dorchester chocolate factory outlet shop. . There is plenty of street parking outside.

Spaces for coaches and motorhomes apparently.

(Funny thing, I'm visiting a friend in Soham next week).

If not at the Top of Town, follow signs for Weymouth on the B3147 there is parking at Dorchester Market.

Thanks for that, I better not let SWMBO see that, as could affect any spare payload that I currently have

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
Be careful, there are some funny folk in Soham
If you need anything or a spot for the night, I have a largish drive

When your luck's in at 76 and you've driven 200 miles you don't bother to ask a lady for references.

Dorchester..Make sure you click 'commercial vehicles' on the pay meter. Its in the bus carpark area. It is not that clear when paying, but its a good stop to stay if you need shopping or walk the dog.

 

[Cliffdale]

Parking for motorhomes here. Last year was £1 hour commercial or 2£ for cars.

Is there a separate area for MH’s and is it signed?

Dunno, but if you look on Streetview you'll see that M/h's are allowed so presumably there are some sufficiently large spaces.

It is one of the oddest places that I have ever been to.

I agree, really creepy, Stepford wives feel about it. I haven’t been back in years and I’m only up the road, Poundbury I mean. Dorchester itself is OK.

Not even funny to some!

I have to confess I was trying to think of another Soham rather than the obvious one where those two poor little girls were raped and murdered. If there isn’t one then I’m afraid I don’t get the joke either?

So, arrived nice and early, and now all parked up.
SWMBO got frying pan on whilst I go and feed the pay machine. Still -2 here at 08-45

Silver hides much dirt, thank goodness, van is absolutely minging after a few days travelling about
