There's plenty of parking for a MH up on the Bill, Husky. You can go beyond the lighthouse and park up with a view over Chesil Beach. No parking charge, no hassle, no problems. It's very high up so is quite a steep road to get there but it's very doable.

Husky, no problem with using the blue badge with your motorhome, i have one and use it.  Don't know how it works if you're too long for the bay.  We have a 6m pvc so just fits.

Thanks DD, I checked later on google and remembered the tarmac area. Embarassed I was trying to think of easy access with the mobility scooter for Mrs Husky. There's the sculpture park too, so as you say, other good places.

Stay at Martleaves Farm and walk into Weymouth or get the bus - bus stop is a few minutes walk from the gate and you can buy day tickets.

I tried parking at the back of the Condor Ferry terminal!

Just come back from being away.

First of all thanks to BoleroBoy for the mention of the web site.

Secondly all I would add to what others have said are a couple of general points:

1. Make sure that use of multiple bays is allowed in advance as many councils don't allow it and

2. If in doubt whether parking in a particular manner is allowed, assume not and check rather than get a ticket Smile
