    Residential parking is available nearby; please be considerate of local residents and keep driveways and access routes clear. Once parked on ferry road, a public footpath leads you straight onto the raised embankment, where several bays are spaced along the bank. During the winter months, you may need to walk a little further to find an unoccupied spot.
