We park by the sands dunes at Starr Gate on Clifton Drive.

There is a car park which has been designated for motorhomes as well as other large vehicles not far from the tower near the other car parks. I'll try to find it on Google Earth.

Found it!!! It's on Richardson Street close to the front and close to the tower. Ideal for what you want.Type in Blackpool Tower on Google earth,move directly vertical a little down the screen , still close to the prom and you wil see a lot of car parks close together, zoom in and you will see the car park on Richardson Street. Gettimg to it is another matter all together but it can be done.

We went to Bourton on the Water.  There was one car park with no height barrier,.great we thought park the van there but oh no it was full of tiny little cars BUT the car park round the corner with the height barrier was empty but totally useless to us.

Grrrrr. 

You have our sympathies. Here in Kent, we have argued for some time to allow 'overheight' vehicles to use the local authority waste recycling sites. We have, for perhaps two years, been able to access the sites on a Wednesday and Saturday only.

Now, the County Council want to limit access to vehicles under 2.1m in height. If you have a domestic ie non-commercial vehicle over 2.1m in height, you may still be able to access the sites, on a maximum of 12 occasions per year .......... as long as it is the sole vehicle in the household!

If there is another vehicle registered at the address, you will not be able to obtain the necessary vouchers to use the sites.

Grrrrhhhhh!!!!!

I agree with you, insofar as you can pack more rubbish in.............. but you only create so much rubbish in the first place! Instead of one trip in the Landie every 3 months, Mrs 'D' would need to make at least 6 trips to deposit the same refuge/garden waste/card etc etc.

carbon footprint?

It's a difficult one I grant. Just a little miffed re: the 'sole vehicle' caveat.
