Been here?
A daytime parking area with spectacular views and many walking opportunities, reached by a steep route. Motorhomes are not permitted between 2200 and 0800. The town and beach are a short but steep walk away, with bins and a nearby public toilet.

Sadly, there is now a sign saying no motorhomes between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. Such a shame, as we loved waking up to that view. Typical councils!Translating
Beautiful park-up on the island with lots of space. There are trash cans at the westernmost parking and a public toilet is nearby. When we visited all three parkings were open to campervans for up to 72 hours, this one has the best views and we were lucky to get a gorgeous spot. We’ll happily return someday!
this is my favourite of the three car parks, but only for the view. It seems to be covered by the same rules as the other two i.e. 72 hours maximum stay. My favourite park up in England (so far). Please clear up after yourselves, and maybe do a quick litter pick. There are ample bins that seem to be emptied daily, so there's no excuse for not using them.
Stopped for a picnic and a view back down chesil beach. Well worth the steep drive up. nearby loo at the hotel.
I was at this location last weekend and the sign saying max stay and no overnight parking is no longer there. A number of vehicles were parked up for the entire weekend. Got chatting to one chap who says he goes there regularly and the sign hasn’t been there for some time. Have to say, the views are fantastic
Lovely spot we return to each year. Seems like the council has changed the regulations and it now says no overnighting. On the other hand it has a green circle around a picture of a motorhome and someone parked up here says they’ve been here for three weeks…
Overnight stays are no longer allowed. A large sign says so. Large boulders are scattered around the car parks. We did not stop.Translating
Sadly, a new sign went up this week 6/7/22. Parking is still free during the day, but parking here is only allowed between 6am-9pm. This applies to all vehicles. NO OVERNIGHT PARKING.
Good place to stop. We have been three times. Free parking, ideal for a motorhome, with toilets nearby and decent walks.Translating
Fantastic stop over, no charges any more, totally free with great views over Weymouth. Plenty of walks with views. Tesco and Lidl a short drive away. There are actually 3 parking areas, all hard standing and flat
