Meadowhall Parking With Defender
With Christmas within an arms length now, the missus and daughters have come up with the good idea of maybe visiting Meadowhall this weekend Big Cry
My question being are there any height restrictions at Meadowhall, or could someone advise where to park, is there any open air parking available, the last time I went to Meadowhall was about 20 years ago, and going back this weekend is far too soon for me Laughing

Thanks in advance.

Keith

The ramps from the road leading to the upper level parking areas have enough clearance for my 90 too. Wouldn't want to risk going into the ground level car park though. Tom

One word - SECURITY

That part of South Yorks [Sheffield/Barnsley/Rotherham] is a hot spot for defender thefts, so make sure you have every security device imaginable Thumbs Up Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant.

Best way is to drop them off early on Saturday morning and come beating with me. I HATE Meadow hell with a passion and I must be the world's worst shopper. If I have to go I usually park in the Marks and Sparks car park but my 90 isn't lifted or got a roof rack on.

Meadowhell Rolling with laughter

I'll join you as one of the world's worst shoppers unca, at the moment they didn't mention about it last night, so I will try to lay low tonight Laughing

Though thanks for all your advice gentlemen, hopefully I won't be needing it, hoping you all a great weekend.

Cheers

Keith

I've been in at the ground floor then up the ramps to the open air parking at the top with no problem. 110, no rack

I often take my 110 to Meadowhall, I always park where I've marked the red circle in the picture below, which is a ground level parking area. The double story parking areas have height restrictions which I can't get under with my roof rack on. There are tall posts with CCTV cameras and I always look where they are facing and park within their view...

Heres a street view of that car park, with the CCTV camera shown..

Also, where the read circle is in this piccy there is now a Costa which you can park in without height restriction, then just walk across the road to Meadowhell...

Thanks for the advise Warpig, when I went to Meadowhall the other weekend, I had a Freelander 2 courtesy car, as I had to have a new EGR valve fitted, so in the unfortunate eventuality I have to go again I will know where to park Laughing
