Finding Broad Street Car Park
This car park is right in the heart of the town near the bottom of the main high street and the entrance is next to the traffic lights, on unsurprisingly, Broad Street (A3052).
As you enter Lyme Regis from the west on the A3052 go down the hill and through all the shops and the entrance can be seen to the left just as the Rock Point Inn comes in to view ahead. There is a box junction on the road outside the entrance to the car park.
Coming from the east drop down in to the town and go through the traffic lights. Soon after the lights you will pass on your right some public toilets and then, just as you begin to climb the hill, the car park entrance may be seen on your right.
As with all the car parks in Lyme Regis it is a popular place to park, and this one is the best for a level walk in to the town and on to the sea front.

Broad Street Car Park oddities
The car park is right in the centre of the town.
It is on two levels.
As you enter, to the left there are several spaces that are reserved for "Permit Holders" but there are a few public spaces on the opposite side and one on the left by the wall just as you enter.
Up the slope towards the back of the car park there are more spaces and two spaces on a strange promontory to the left at the top of the slope.
Overall it is a bit of a hotch-potch of spaces some of which are very tight.
There is an foot exit at the far end to the "Town Mill" shopping area and riverside footpath.
