Street Parking in the village is limited; there is a ‘Pay and Display’ car park in West Street and there is the Castle View Car & Coach Park (National Trust) at the foot of the Castle, or you can park at Norden, around half a mile from the village, and ride here on the steam railway.

The PARK AND RIDE at Norden is a unique example of a rural transport system that really works. Developed by Swanage Railway in conjunction with Purbeck District Council, there is space for over 250 cars, coach parking, a visitor centre and children’s play area. This award-winning facility is currently free of charge.
