Where should you park when visiting Murlough National Nature Reserve?
The practical answer
For **Murlough National Nature Reserve**, use the **National Trust car park** serving the reserve. This gives direct access to the boardwalks and dune paths without parking in nearby residential or roadside areas.
As checked on 25 September 2026, the National Trust publishes seasonal car charges of:
- **£5** from January to April
- **£7** from May to August
- **£5** from September to December
National Trust members and Blue Badge holders park free under the current arrangements. The machines are **cashless**, and JustPark is available, but a space cannot be reserved.
Parking is limited. On a hot beach day, arriving earlier is more reliable than assuming a space will be available at midday.
