🔈🔊 TRAVEL & PARKING INFORMATION 🔈🔊

⏰Plan your journey in advance and aim to arrive as early as possible, anytime from 8am.

The car park at Marine Drive operated by North Devon National Trust so members can park for free, don’t forget your card! 🎫🎟✅️
If you would like to join the trust and benefit from free parking, you can do so on the day after the event, though we recommend signing up beforehand to help keep things moving and to avoid delays, which you can do throughout the week at the Marine Drive parking hut or with our friends at Woolacombe Tourist Information Centre

Otherwise, parking is chargeable for a day pass at Marine Drive. The day pass allows you leave and return again later in the day. Other parking is available elsewhere in the village as indicated on the photo, please check with Woolacombe Tourist Information Centre for latest info on parking and charges.

⚠️🛑 We politely request that everyone respects the speed limit 🐌🦥 and drives safely, considerately & respectfully in our small village & along Marine Drive car park ⚠️🛑

It's worth a little walk after our parkrun to see these guys in their home at the end of Marine Drive 🐗🐖

Thank you to Darija who joined us at Saturdays event all the way from Aberfields parkrun and shared her experience in the event report.

"Woolacombe Dunes is certainly not your everyday parkrun. The soft sand can make every step count, testing determination as much as fitness, while the coastal setting and enthusiastic volunteers (especially Ivy with her pom poms!) provides plenty of encouragement to keep moving."
