Horse Boxes

If you wish to use the equestrian routes in Arrow Valley Country Park, horse boxes are best parked at Ipsley Church Lane. There is no specific horse box parking at Ipsley Church Lane, but this is based on feedback from other horse riders.

Height Restrictions

All the car parks at our parks and open spaces have a height restriction at varying levels. We have set clearly marked, locked and restrictive height barriers to ensure the safety and security of our car parks.

If you think this may be an issue for you as you own a tall vehicle, due to a disability or style of vehicle, please contact us for more information. Alternatively, you may be eligible to use our Dial a Ride service.
