Car Park
There is a large car park in Mill Lane which is a 5 to 10 minute walk along a country footpath (on the edge of fields) leading to the Race HQ. Parking costs £1 with proceeds donated to local causes. Please use this as parking spaces in Chalgrove village are limited and we would recommend you arrive well before 10.30am to avoid congestion. All vehicles and possessions are left at owner's risk. If you have friends and family who you think may have difficulty using the footpath please contact us for alternative arrangements. What 3 Words location .
