Kicked that membership to touch years ago when they forced their (elderly) volunteers to go “woke”!!!
Polperro, Cornwall £12 minimum charge car parking for Motorhomes!
Just realised my 2 favourite places on earth, Northumberland and France are still mostly free parking. I balk at paying for parking, I really do. I'm not tight though I assure you 
Like me, not tight - value orientated.Just realised my 2 favourite places on earth, Northumberland and France are still mostly free parking. I balk at paying for parking, I really do. I'm not tight though I assure you
Ours is classed a 'motor caravan' and we regularly used to park in the large motorhome destinated spaces at Lyme regis .
Used to cost £2 for 24hrs .
We would go in for coffee and croissants before work and then go back after shift for a pint, a pasty and a walk on the beach all on the same ticket
Bet you can't do that now

Sainsburys car park next to a hospital near me; 2 quid for 2 hours unless you use the parking app in which case the same 2 hours cost 7 quid - nothing on the meter to show this difference - such a rip off for the younger generation who dont carry cash whereas us older folk always have a few quid in the glove box

I’ve no idea the last time I paid for parking in a private car park that doesn’t have exit barriers. Screw them.Sainsburys car park next to a hospital near me; 2 quid for 2 hours unless you use the parking app in which case the same 2 hours cost 7 quid - nothing on the meter to show this difference - such a rip off for the younger generation who dont carry cash whereas us older folk always have a few quid in the glove box
Still is cash only! Again lots of people struggling at the machine, counting their coins.
Wonder why it’s cashonly??!
We’re NT members and have been for 40+ years. The ‘free’ parking is a bonus. Especially as we only need to scan our membership card and not find cash.
Same , we get our moneys worth in parking before we take adavantage of the fantastic places to visit , well worth the money .
Polperro is an odd theme park , I found it a lost village dull and soulless
Yes, but if the parking was free at least I would find a reason to enjoy it! I really need to go now to see what dull and soulless is...
I remember those days but unfortunately no longer the case. £1.90 per hour by the harbour, and not a dissimilar amount if you're in the top car park.Ours is classed a 'motor caravan' and we regularly used to park in the large motorhome destinated spaces at Lyme regis .

Back to Polperro, we parked up once in the car park one evening for a meal in the nearby pub and a local who lived in one of the houses overlooking said he rarely saw anyone checking at that time. He said if he did see someone he would repeatedly sound his horn. I suspect he was disgruntled at someone profiteering from extortionate prices.
If you are down that way - got to visit Mousehole (mouwz'l). They (last time I went) had a community carpark which, once I'd spoken to the guys running it, didn't baulk at all paying that and a half pint more. Trouble is that there are already too many (more than 1) vehicles driving around there.
Anyway - enjoy Cornwall.

if you down that area and have dogs and want to wear them out try Charwell Dog Adventures, loads of enclosed areas with different themes, my two choc labs should of been fish so we went in the Splash Field and spent an hour swimming and chasing each other around, book on line pay in 30 mins slots and up to 10 dogs, cost £12 for and hour for two dogs you park in area and close gate behind you, just sit there and leave them run around no way to escape which was good for my pair no recall, if i let them go on the beach they be off the coast of France with an hour
