There is no parking at either end of Hocombe Mead but it is possible to park at the shops in Ashdown Road and walk to the Hiltingbury Road entrance. 

There are no onsite facilities however there is a viewing platform that is accessible by wheelchairs from the Ashdown Road entrance and gives a lovely view of the North Meadow. There are interpretation boards here, and throughout the reserve, to let you know what you are looking at and what is happening.
