Spaces in the middle allow visitors to park up to three hours free of charge, while those on the outside allow for a maximum of ten hours.

With the weather warming up and amid the Bank Holiday Weekend, the Cotswolds town is set to be another popular spot for tourists.

The car park’s generous time allowances allow visitors to park up and explore the pretty West Oxfordshire spot without parking fee worries.

Charlbury is a small Cotswold market town in the Evenlode valley, about six miles north of Witney, with a population of around 2,800.

Set on the edge of historic Wychwood Forest and linked to Oxford and London by its own railway station, it has become an increasingly popular base for visitors, with a walkable centre, festivals and plenty of countryside on the doorstep.

Hospitality spots such as The Bull, a Michelin‑rated pub‑restaurant on Sheep Street, and The Bell, a seventeenth‑century coaching inn, have helped drive year‑on‑year interest in the town.

Charlbury also sits within easy striking distance of Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm near Chipping Norton and his pub The Farmer’s Dog near Burford, adding to its appeal for holidaymakers.
