    COACH ACCESS
    Coaches should take the driveway opposite the Magna Carta Tea Room. Coaches normally reverse into the yard as turning inside the Boatyard grounds is not possible. This is to allow passengers access without having to cross the main road.
    Please pay very careful attention to members of the public as this is a public space. It is advisable to telephone in advance if assistance in reversing into the boatyard is required.
    Coach drivers or group organisers should either report to the skipper or the main office when they will be escorted to their allocated boat. Coaches are normally then moved to park into the tea room car park opposite - the skipper will advise on the most appropriate parking position at that time.
    DAYTIME PRIVATE HIRE CUSTOMERS
    Parking is allocated in a separate paddock area accessed from the Magna Carta tea room opposite the boat yard. Proceed to the slip road that accesses the tea room, once in the car park the paddock is immediately on the left via a 5 bar gate. Please park considerately as there may be many cars to park in this area.
    Please do not park in the main tea room car park as this is in constant use by tea rooms customers.
    DAYTIME SERVICE TRIP PASSENGERS
    Please park in the National Trust car park on the riverside side of the road. This is a pay and display car park. Access is via the entrance 200 yards further down the road.
