ANNUAL PASSES

  • Annual passes bought before 21st November 2022 will have the expiry date extended to 20th November 2023.
  • There are more than 40 car parks across Ashdown Forest.
    King’s Standing and Broadstone car parks are suitable for blue badge parking, with access onto flatter terrain with some spectacular views.
  • Many of the Forest rides are unsuitable for wheel-chairs due to the bumpy, steep terrain. However, from Long car park, there is a relatively flat section. Fine views can also be enjoyed from Ridge and Broadstone car parks.
  • The Forest Centre car park is nearest to the visitor centre and toilets. Coaches should park at nearby Broadstone car park.
  • No vehicles may be parked on the Forest after midnight, until 6am. Overnight stays in vehicles are not permitted in the Forest car parks.
