The National Trust says the majority of parking spaces will be available again in December 2026, following several months of work to transform the car park after concerns were raised about space.

Once work is complete in spring 2027, the car park will increase its spaces by 160, including 24 disabled parking bays, 3 coach bays, and motorcycle parking.

The wider Operation Park, Play and Explore scheme also includes a new visitor welcome building, a redesigned play area, and conservation work to historic features across the Worcestershire estate.
