Parking In Axminster: Cheap Axminster station Car parking

For such a small town Axminster has a lot of car parks and it is actually remarkably cheap to park here when compared to nearby Lyme Regis Car Parks, with the obvious reason being Axminster is a good 8 miles from the sea. 

Couple that with the fact that in most of the long stay car parks once you have paid for three hours the rest of the day is free and you can see this is an excellent place to spend a some time without worrying how much you car parking charges are going to rack up.  

The most expensive place to park is at Axminster Station. But on our page we suggest an alternative which is much cheaper and a 50 yard walk away.

Set out below and presented in no particular order are all the car parks in the town.
