• Dedicated Patient Parking: We offer a private car park located directly on the grounds of the medical centre.

⚠️ Parking Notice: The spaces directly in front of the practice are reserved for patients with disabilities and mobility issues. Please use the main parking bays. Thank you.

• Disabled Parking Provision: Dedicated, wheelchair-accessible parking bays are available close to the entrance. A prominent disabled parking sign is displayed to ensure these spaces are kept clear for those with limited mobility. Please ensure you display a valid Blue Badge when using these bays.

Call us if you have any questions about accessing Lyme Regis Medical Centre.  

Please Park Considerately Because space is limited, we kindly ask all patients to park considerately within the marked bays. Please ensure your vehicle does not block the entrance, emergency access routes, or other parked cars. Keeping these areas clear is vital for ambulances and patients with urgent medical needs.

Peak Times & Space Constraints: Due to the physical layout and space constraints of our town-centre location, our dedicated parking area has a limited number of spaces. The car park can become exceptionally busy during peak clinic hours.

Plan Ahead: We highly recommend allowing a few extra minutes before your scheduled appointment time to secure a parking space.

Alternative Travel: If you live nearby or are able to use public transport, please consider doing so to help keep spaces free for our more vulnerable patients. The medical centre is situated on a main route, with public bus stops located directly outside our main gates.

• Lyme Regis Medical Centre Stop (South-East Bound) – located directly outside.
