Pay and display £4 for 3 hours - worth it for the easy access to walk Hadrian's Wall and see the sights like Sycamore Gap. Well maintained car park. Road to get there is a little slippy in winter as the access road is not gritted.

Very crowded for the amount of visitors.
Have some exact coins since parking machine supposedly takes cards but signal is some mere that you'd be lucky to pass your bank transaction through. Mine got rejected 3 times as per some of the other people there. Do not take bills nor give cash back.
£4 per 3 hours.

Small car park with spaces. £4 for 3 hours. No bins or facilities at all. Paid by card and it took nearly five minutes to authorise.
Should be free parking. Pure greed.
Also we were done in 90 mins so was going to give our ticket to someone else but they make you put your reg in so you can’t transfer it. Outrageous.

Perfectly located car park for quick Hadrian's Wall/Sycamore Tree Gap walk. Worth every penny. As of April 2023 it is £4 for the first 3h and £2 for each additional hour, with £10 daily maximum charge. As for the walk, it really shouldn't take longer than 2-3h. I'm fat and I took a lot of photo breaks and it took me 2.15h Of course much longer loops are possible from this starting point. Car park is rather small, so early arrival advised. It also has rather narrow spaces, so think twice if you have big SUV/pick-up. For the same reason campers not advised, car park is also closed overnight.

Easy to access and accessible place for viewing Hadrian's Wall. Lots of local wildlife including swifts and swallows. Really beautiful landscape. First 15 minutes is free parking, and then £4 for up to three hours, so perfect to just view quickly and then head onwards in journey.

It charges £2 per hour. However from there you can take numerous ways to walk alongside Hadrian's Wall with amazing views. If you gonna drift to its left hand side and walk into the "forest" - will find the boothy you can stay in.

We had gone to Corbridge thinking we could see a bit of Hadrian’s wall there but Nope! The lady there told us to come & park here. We were on our way up to Edinburgh & didn’t have a lot of time. This was perfect & the vistas fantastic.

Great car park for start of walking the wall 😊 amazing views straight away, first day there yesterday and so worth the journey and its not bad for parking £3 for three hours, the ticket machine takes change or card. I will definitely be back but will stay longer next time for sure. Its very rocky at the beginning of the walk but its worth it for the views and see parts of the amazing hadrian's Wall and sycamore gap 😊
