quiet night, few workers cars passing in the morning going to mines. windy day but sheltered spot. 24h access clean toilets. Nice model village across the road.
Parking tranquille au bord de la route principale, tout près du pub Miners Arms, servant des plats et des boissons. Toilettes publiques au parking, propres et ouvertes 24h / 24. Les enfants jouent au parc de l'autre côté de la route.
Quiet car park off the main road, Public toilet at car park, clean and open 24/7. Kids play park across the road.

Great park up if travelling through. Clean toilets open 24/7, pretty village and good dog walking. What more can you ask for? Oh and the locals really are incredibly friendly.
Stayed here a few times, always quiet and the locals are friendly. Walk up to the mines from here. The toilets are open 24:7 and are immaculately kept by volunteers so we always leave a donation in the community box. Next to aplay park and close to the ‘hub’ which has various pop up food trucks/cafe/bar, list in the window with dates.
Great spot, so peaceful. Quiet village with small store, pub is closed. Toilets operated by volunteers, donation box there to support the facility. I didn’t use them but looked very clean. Some bins nearby on the road. Pretty flat in the car park. Reasonable signal on O2. Friendly locals. Nice walks in the area. Made a donation in the store for the community fund.
Very quiet. We slept really well and enjoyed the walk around the mine in the morning. Shop and cafe very close
Great place to park for the night. It's on the access road to the mine visitors center. The mine is well worth a visit, but you do have to book for the mine tour on line. Be warned though there is only a small shop here no pub and the cafe has closed down.
Really good park up , we had a quiet peaceful night , good 4G ( on EE) lunch in the “Hive” community café was excellent , the community toilets were clean , managed to top up our water bottles , recycling area just down the road , small community run shop for your bits and bobs , good dog walking all around , shame the pub is shut though but I believe something is on the fizz regarding this , we stopped in January I imagine it is wonderful in the summer .
Por fin un buen aparcamiento gratuito en un país que hay que pagar por todo,asi que muchísimas gracias al ayuntamiento por este aparcamiento donde pasamos una noche maravillosa,el pueblo tiene un pequeño paseo donde un artesano de la zona hace recreaciones de casas y monumentos en miniatura,digno de ver, volveremos.
A night of complete peace, an amazing dog walk straight out over the little bridge in the car park, clean toilets open 24/7, what more could you ask for! An incredible spot. The nearby village of Alston has a shop, petrol and a title takeaway too, very handy.
absolutely fantastic stop, the locals are so welcoming. local coffee shop fantastic so peaceful there are rubbish bins only. the woodlands just next to it are beautiful red squirrels can be seen daily. pub is Not open but locals say it won't be long until its reopen. Will definitely go again. please don't spoil this free beautiful spot.
Loads of flat spaces, good access to walks and kids playground as well as toilets. Roads leading here were interesting!
Quiet and safe park up, pub, play area, museum, walks, 24hr toilets.... Perfect place for a park up!!
Please note… The Miners Arms is NO longer a pub. It’s a private residence. A good park up nonetheless.
Great stopping point in the Upper Pennines. Welcomed by all locals we met. Make sure to check out The Hive, a Wesleyan Chapel converted to cafe, gallery and community hub. Excellent place
only gave a 4 star as no bins. But public toilets at the entrance with a little donation box in the shape of a mini house outside the toilets. some nice walks over the river, walk towards the mine and you will see the small bridge on the right. pub over the road but I didn't go in. Just me and the dog but felt safe and secure.
Large car park in a lovely village, lots of spaces. Public toilets clean and open 24/7. Parking is free but they have a donations box outside the toilets and you can donate to the mines ☺️ Locals are lovely, and gave us suggestions for nice walks, we had a lovely time. Great for the dog!
Just spent a lovely night here. Parked at the top end and had a very peaceful night. Large car park, ample room for lots of vehicles. Community toilets just next to the car park. Gorgeous community owned cafe (Hive) opposite, best coffee I’ve had in ages. Right on the coast to coast cycle route. There’s a donation box outside the toilets which is a miniature house made by a local gentleman.
Great location with free car park. I stayed here for 1 night and parked further up towards the mine. The car park is a bit uneven and gravel at this end, much moor level and smooth in the designated car parking bays. Fantastic walk around the wooded area across the stream. Although the carpark is free, I made a donation on the mines website as it is run by volunteers.
Very nice place to stay. A visit to the Lead Mines is very worthwhile.
Very quiet. Miners Arms is closed and up for sale.
Parking tranquille à l'écart de la circulation, accueil au pub très sympa, nous y avons passé un moment agréable.
