Bel endroit, parking gratuit, beaucoup de promenades et de cartes balisées, des sentiers de vélo de montagne aussi. Pas de services, mais des bancs de pique-nique dans la forêt à quelques pas du parking. Le parking est assez plat. Je n'ai visité que pour la journée, mais quand je partais vers 6 heures, le parking était principalement constitué de fourgonnettes et de camping-cars, ce qui me semble donc être un bon endroit pour s'arrêter. Aucun signe de stationnement de nuit non plus, juste pas de camping ou d'incendies dans la forêt. Très chien amical.
Beautiful spot, free parking, lots of signposted walks and maps, mountain bike trails too. No services, but picnic benches in the woodland a short walk in from the car park. Car park is pretty level. I've only visited for the day but when I was leaving at around 6ish the carpark was mostly vans and campers so seems like a good place to stop. No signs about overnight parking either, just no camping or fires in the forest. Very dog friendly.
Schöner Ort, kostenlose Parkplätze, viele ausgeschilderte Spaziergänge und Karten, auch Mountainbike-Strecken. Keine Dienstleistungen, aber Picknickbänke im Wald, nur einen kurzen Spaziergang vom Parkplatz entfernt. Der Parkplatz ist ziemlich eben. Ich habe nur für den Tag besucht, aber als ich gegen 6 Uhr abreiste, bestand der Parkplatz hauptsächlich aus Lieferwagen und Wohnmobilen. Es scheint also ein guter Ort zu sein, um anzuhalten. Auch keine Anzeichen für das Parken über Nacht, nur kein Camping oder Feuer im Wald. Sehr hundefreundlich.
Bonito lugar, estacionamiento gratuito, muchos paseos y mapas marcados, senderos para bicicletas de montaña también. No hay servicios, pero bancos de picnic en el bosque a pocos pasos del aparcamiento. El estacionamiento es bastante plano. Solo visité por un día, pero cuando me iba alrededor de las 6 am, el estacionamiento era principalmente camionetas y vehículos recreativos, así que me sentí como un buen lugar para detenerme. Tampoco hay señales de estacionamiento durante la noche, solo campamentos o incendios forestales. Muy amigable con los perros.

A lot of people don't realise if you carry on past the main two massive car parks. there are another two places you can park much further away from the electricity. pylons. smaller parking area suitable for two or three Van lifers. locals may get a little cheesed off if it's taken over by motorhomes.... And the road is very narrow more suitable for covert van lifers. beautiful place
Good quiet car park, you can hear the electrical cables but myself and my cat were the only ones overnight and we felt safe. Some noise around 9 because of bikers but to be expected as this is in a country park.
great spot, lots of dog walkers and horses during the day but we were the only ones overnight. the only issue is the noise from the power lines however we found it easy to ignore
Wunderschön!!! Wir waren mit unserem Hund einen schönen Spaziergang machen, standen mit einem Campervan als Nachbar auf dem Platz. Ruhige Nacht es war perfekt!!!
Lovely woodland, peaceful night here, great walk around woods in morning. Busy in morning with dog walkers & a few horses. Poor phone / wi-fi. Second car park Futher down track is smaller but nicer. Will use again when next over this way.
Arrived teatime Friday and it was less than half full, by 8pm there was just me. A very peaceful nights sleep. By 8.30am the next day (Saturday) the car park was almost full. Would definitely stop here again
Prachtige plek in het bos. Alleen pal onder een hoogspanningsleiding die een constant geruis geeft en een wat onveilig gevoel. Veel hondenuitlaters. Verder superrustig. Geen voorzieningen.
Stayed here last night, excellent. Was away from the power lines, best spot I’ve stayed in. Great woodland walks, saw deer and bats. Busy from the morning with walkers and runners but no problems. Great spot
Stayed over & walked through the forest. Forest was okay though doggy bags thrown as no bins available in this vast area. We found the energies quite low which could be a result to the buzzing pylons. Caused a deep headache so be aware.
Brilliant stopover, no issues. Easy to access (single track road with plenty of passing places). Dog walkers and runners arrive from 7am onwards. A few cars came and went around 10pm, but this was fine. No bins in the immediate vicinity.
this is a cracking place stayed last night and staying tonight as well busy with dog walkers through the day but there's plenty parking got to be over 100 spaces, free of charge as well, come 6.30 99٪ of dog walkers have gone, 110% recommended this place you will have no issues here.
Seems like a nice little place and was the only van here but the static from the electricity lines (directly above) creeped me out a little and then I googled about the dangers of parking and being near them. Wasn't for me at all. Moved on in the end at 11pm but don't regret the decision at all despite the late night. Lots of litter too.
Stayed here a few times and it's a really nice place. Plenty of walks and highly recommended if you have a dog or downhill mountain bike. Can also confirm, recently seen a portaloo near the notice boards in the car park, not sure if it's temporary or permanent. Pylon on one side of the car park, lines run over the car park so signal can be hit and miss and abit noisey on the side where pylon is.
We stayed the night and had the place to ourselves after 21:00, very quite and peaceful. As stated above, lots of walks and plenty of benches. Dog walkers, runners and cyclists started arriving around 07:30 ish but this was a Sunday so don't think it would be as busy on a week day, they weren't noisy so its nothing to moan about. Very little litter about, would stay again if this way.
