Top of the quantocks. An amazing spot. Big open area off the road. No overnight parking allowed. Big sky. Fantastic sunset. Cracking sunrise. Very quiet. Only sheep and horses. Loved it

Extensively large exposed parking spot. can see a town in the distance at night. occasional wild horses clopping by. minimal wind coverage. hard compacted earth with stones inside. not frequently passed through. top end is shielded from main road. lovely sunrise. much birdsong.

Beautiful place, no longer allowed overnight parking. Expect a ranger to move you on.

This site is used by locals to walk in the area. Please if there’s already a couple of vans parked up move on! Don’t turn this spot into a caravan park for Moho. As a local with a camper this app is ruining all the quiet spots. Use common decency and move on if it’s busy

Beautiful spot, parking overnight isn't allowed. no trouble but a couple of locals driving around beeping there horns. we left no trace and packed everything up over night. worth the risk in my opinion.

There is now a sign saying no camping overnight. It is very small and we didn't see the sign when we arrived late. We couldn't make it up the top of the hill, as it had been raining all day and also, there are so many large hidden pot holes which you'll need to dodge otherwise you may become stuck...

We were well out of the way on the road but some cars came passed at 5am and were using their horn - perhaps they knew we shouldn't of stayed overnight. The views were amazing and when we woke, a flook of sheep were grazing next to our van. August 2020.

We loved it here despite being here on an overcast night and being welcomed with a misty morning with no views, but it was still lovely. very quiet (apart from a storm that hit!). The horses galloped up in the evening too which was lovely. it is a bit bumpy to get to the top area, but plenty of places just a little further down anyway. great spot with lovely walks around.

Perfect spot, yes tricky to drive last few metres and my little van bounced all over the place. Views are perfect and you can walk for miles in the hills surrounding. Once all the day trippers have gone, you are surrounded first by horses, then sheep and cows, who will hang out with you all night (I loved this). I was woken quite early by a cow using my van as a scratching post! Enjoy

Stayed in the upper car park area a few weeks ago for one night. Quite a steep dirt track access, which is deeply rutted. The lower parking area is sloping but accessible to larger vehicles. Lovely quiet night, no light pollution and woke to a blazing gorgeous sunny day. Dog walkers out in force. Lots of lovely long walks over the hills and stunning views. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place but terrain so bad that now impossible to get to upper car park. Lower one very sloping- best location near road by tree.

We stayed a bit off the road here, there was a thick fog so it was difficult to find a perfect spot. would definitely recommend heading to the car park at the top. the road is narrow and steep but worth it!
