    Very convenient parkup. Only used by dog walkers and fisherman. Some noise from the adjacent road. Good 4g. No facilities. Would recommend.

    Nice spot, walk along canal for the dog plus garage opposite which has LPG and let me fill up with water too.

    Lovely spot next to the canal. Bit of road noise but fine if you are not a light sleeper

  • 4/5

    Nice little spot, easy to get to- just off the M6. Clean and tidy, right next to the canal. Some motorway noise but it’s not overbearing, I found it helpful for background noise. 24 hour garage just a very short walk away, so you can grab food, drink, and they have toilets. Sliproad/entrance to be kept clear due to access needs, but still lots of space.

    arrived at 10.30pm empty car park lovely views to wake upto as others have said there is noise from the road but didn't bother us from 12 untill 6am was barely any noise at all nice little spot for walking the hound garage is 24hr and has a toilet and not over priced like the services these days overall worth a try

    Some motorway noise but otherwise a quiet night easy to get to from the motorway

    A beautiful place to park up for the night. Yes it’s too close to the M6 to be noise free but in a well insulated van it’s not a problem. The canal is very scenic and great if you want miles of traffic free walking, cycling or paddle boarding. Just off Jct 36 so ideal if your travelling north or south up the west coast.

    We have used the lay-by just down the road in the past but it was full of cars when we arrived. So we moved to here. It’s VERY close to the motorway so very noisy all night. One other van with us. As has been said nice location next to the canal and flat and good to walk the dog. No issues stopping the night and felt safe. But take ear plugs.

    flat, almost, easy access and free. no facilities. very close to the motorway so expect noise. boy racers use the 24 hour garage just up the road as a meet and great point. Loud exhaust pipes even in the pouring rain. But it's free. Quite pretty.

    Empty, clean, by the canal. some road noise but not too bad. no facilities but off the road and feels safe. garage just few mins walk away

    Really pretty spot , with no over night hassles. Just a bit noisy , but has to be expected consider how close it is to the motorway.made for a great stopover on the way to Scotland .

    Lovely little spot straight off the M6. Right by side of canal that could probably fit 3 motorhomes. Not noisy considering just off motorway. Texaco Garage across the road has water tap too. Pulled over for bit of lunch and got cadac barbecue out. Didn’t stop over night but definitely would feel safe and ok to do so.

    Beautiful spot for watching the wildlife, we saw 3 enormous swans hanging out on the slipway. Combined noise from motorway and local road was too much, so we moved on.

  • 2/5

    It would do in a pinch I suppose but you'd definitely have to have ear plugs I reckon, it looks nice and peaceful though, pity about the noise motorway above you. I moved on from here.

    A convenient off road overnight spot 5mins from the Milnthorpe Showground, space for 2-3 campers, as you need to keep the slipway accessible.As others have said the road noise might be intrusive to some, it didn’t bother us at all. Highly recommended.

    Good hard standing. Right by canal. Noisy from road/motorway... watch for hidden and tight turn....slow right down after passing Texaco garage on right and under motorway.

    Great overnight stop. Can hear motor from outside. But when your wrapped up in bed it's not an issue. Great place if you have had a long drive

  • 5/5

    Great place with plenty of space. You can hear the m6 traffic but it's not an annoying noise, it's background noise. Didn't prevent me from sleeping at all. Arrived at night though and missed the entrance so keep your eyes open to a field looking entrance to your left right before the intercession shown on a picture. It'll be on your left when you come from the gas station end.

    Way too noisy. Nice location next to canal but too much road noise. Stopped to make s meal and decided to move on.

  • 4/5

    Great place, really pretty. a 24hr petrol station 50 yds away for Costa machine and hot pies in the morning and essentials like milk and toilets. great walk all along the canal. close to M6 but wasn't noisy. looks like they are making the parking area bigger so a very welcome stop over.
