Where to Park in Corbridge

Corbridge's village centre is compact, historic and not built for cars, so the parking that does exist is worth knowing before you arrive. The short version: park for free in the large village car park on the south side of the bridge and walk over, or pay for a short stay in the village centre streets. Unlike Hexham, Corbridge does not use a parking disc.

Charges and rules change, so always check the signs on the day and the Northumberland County Council Corbridge car parks page before you rely on anything here.

Corbridge Village car park (free, long stay)

The main car park for visitors is Corbridge Village car park, on the south side of the bridge beside the B6321 towards Dilston. It is free, and the council allows stays of up to 72 hours, Monday to Sunday including bank holidays. After that you must remove your vehicle for at least six hours before returning.

Visit Corbridge puts it at 86 spaces, with more planned. From here it is a short walk back over the seven-arched bridge into the Market Place, and it is also on the way to the railway station.

Village centre streets (pay and display, 3 hours)

Parking in the heart of the village is on-street, and it is paid. The council lists Church Lane, Front Street, Hill Street, Main Street, Princes Street, St Helens Street and Watling Street as pay and display, with a maximum stay of 3 hours. Charges apply from 9am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday, including bank holidays.

At the time of writing the council's tariff is:

• Up to 30 minutes: free
• Up to 1 hour: £1
• Up to 2 hours: £1.30
• Up to 3 hours: £2

You still need a ticket or a parking session for the free 30 minutes as well as paid stays, and the council says the time limit applies to every type of bay. No parking disc is needed. Pay at the machine, or by phone or app where the sign offers it.

The council's page dates from July 2025, so treat these prices as a guide and check the machine.

Best for:

These streets are narrow, and many stretches have double yellow lines or loading restrictions. Only park in a marked bay, read the plate beside it, and keep clear of junctions and dropped kerbs.

Well Bank car park (short stay)

Well Bank is a small council car park in the village centre with a 3-hour maximum stay and no return within 4 hours, Monday to Saturday from 8am to 6pm. The council's Corbridge page lists it with the same tariff as the street bays above. Its 2026 off-street parking order lists it as free, though, so check the sign and the machine when you arrive.

Cow Lane car park (weekends and school holidays)

Cow Lane car park sits next to Corbridge Middle School, about five minutes' walk from the centre of the village. Visit Corbridge says it is only open to the public at weekends and in school holidays, when it is free. On a school day, use the village car park instead.

The Wheatsheaf car park

Visit Corbridge notes that The Wheatsheaf on St Helens Street currently lets people park for free in its car park. This is a private car park, not a council one, so check the signs on site before you leave your car there.

Parking at Corbridge station

Corbridge station is south of the river on Station Road. Northern lists a free station car park with 8 spaces and no accessible bays. With so few spaces, if you are catching a train it is often easier to use the free village car park, which you pass on the way. Our guide to getting around Corbridge without a car covers the trains, buses and step-free access at the station.

Corbridge Roman Town

Corbridge Roman Town is half a mile north-west of the village, on Corchester Lane (postcode for sat nav NE45 5NT). English Heritage says there is free parking for 20 cars about 10 metres from the entrance, so you do not need to be a member to use it. The site is open only at weekends in winter, so check its opening times before you set off. If the car park is full, you can park in the village and walk.

If you come by bus instead, English Heritage gives 20% off a walk-up ticket. See our guide to visiting Corbridge Roman Town for more.

EV charging

Visit Corbridge says there are public charge points at the east end of Main Street and on Hill Street. Zapmap lists the Hill Street charger (NE45 5AA) as one 22kW device with two Type 2 connectors on the EV Charge.Online network, priced at 57p/kWh when we checked. Check the Zapmap app for live availability and current prices, and remember that any parking restrictions on the bay still apply while you charge.

Blue Badge parking

Northumberland County Council's parking guidance says Blue Badge holders can:

• park free in pay and display bays and in council car parks
• park in a disabled bay with no time limit, unless a sign says otherwise
• park on single or double yellow lines for up to 3 hours, with the badge and time clock displayed

You cannot park where a loading ban is in force, or in special bays such as doctor or resident bays. There are no accessible parking bays at Corbridge station.

Busy days

• Rugby Saturdays: Tynedale RFC plays its home matches at Tynedale Park on Station Road, on the same side of the river as the village car park and the station. Allow a little extra time on match afternoons.
• Christmas in Corbridge is a busy time. In 2026 the St Andrew's Church Christmas Tree Festival runs from 4 to 8 December, and late-night Christmas shopping is on Monday 7 December. Arrive early or come by train or bus.
• Summer weekends bring visitors to the village and the Roman Town. Cow Lane car park is open at weekends and gives you another option.
