Van Hire Amberley

Amberley sits in the heart of Sussex, surrounded by rolling countryside and chalk hills. This compact village might be small, but it has quite a few handy spots for locals and visitors who need to run errands or grab supplies.

Getting Around Amberley

The road network around Amberley is pretty straightforward, though not extensive. The main route through the village is the B2139 New Barn Road, which turns into Turnpike Road – this is your best bet for getting about. If you’re heading towards Houghton with a loaded van, you’ll find the roads are well-maintained and wide enough for larger vehicles.

Castle Lane serves as a useful connection through the village centre, while Crossgate offers a direct path to Bury for those needing to transport goods between the villages. Hurst Cottages Road, while smaller, still provides decent access to residential areas – just watch out for parked cars during school run times.

Van Parking Options

For van drivers, the main parking facility in Amberley is the APCOA Car Park at Amberley Station on New Barn Road, BN18 9LR. It’s quite handy since it’s open round the clock, which makes it dead easy for early morning starts or late-night dropoffs. The spaces are decent-sized, so you won’t have to worry about squeezing a van in.
