    Great woodland spot, level parking and a bin. Access to the woods with circular walks on hard standing tracks so not muddy. Near a road so some noise but didn't bother me and i slept well. A few dog walkers in the morning, everyone seemed friendly. Will stay again when in the area. Marked down for road noise as it may be bothersome in summer if windows are open.

    Only stopped for a leg stretch but can imagine it’s a quiet place to stay over night…

    Good, convenient parking. Flat and easy to get to. Nice walks in the woods. A Little Road noise and dg walkers from around 6.30 am but a good location.

    Stayed for a night in our large motorhome. Felt very safe and it was perfect for a lovely dog walk through the forest. Very level, too.

    Petit parking de dépannage pour un picnic ou une nuit. Une poubelle disponible, et balade possible dans la Heathhall Forest. Bon Trip à Tous !!

    Gerader Platz ohne viel Ausstattung. Möglichkeit eines kleinen Spaziergangs durch den Wald. Recht viel Fahrzeugverkehr auf Grund der Einheimischen Gassigänger. Straßennah.

    Suggest day parking and dog walking. Small carpark. Not really suited to our 6.4 Adria Twin. It’s a forestry car park with bins etc. busy with dog walkers. Had lunch on a Sunday. No signs to preclude overnight. Farm access road off the road end as well. Sloped site.

    Couldn’t access due to road blocks. I guess they’re not so happy about people overnighting here anymore. Could also see a big red No Overnight Parking sign beyond where they’d closed the access road

    Nice park up for the night. Plenty of space . We arrived at 10pm and were the 3rd van but no issue finding space. It is next to a road but noise doesn't really bother us but if your a light sleeper, might not be for you! There is a bin there and phone signal on Vodafone.

    Brilliant parking space, with brilliant forest walk, within driving distance to every super market you could need.. including paper shops. also within short distance to a few pubs for lunch. brilliant parking space. a lot of dog walkers coming and going but that's it. boy racers and bikes passing but if you don't mind road noise you will love this spot. x

    We had to sleep in our car to break up a very long journey. Arrived after 10pm and had place to ourselves. Police visited at half 2 but happy that we were OK and sleeping with a child in the car. Morning dog walkers arrived from 6 and weren't quiet about us staying there.

    Stayed for one night and was alone here. Lots of people walking their dogs, and as there is a roundabout very near, it can be quite noisy. I slept well, though.

    Bruyant et sans charme. Beaucoup de promeneurs de chien et de demi remorque qui passe sur les routes environnantes. Dépanne bien malgré tout.

    Nice park up but constant noise from road(trucks, cars and boy/girl racers). I wouldn’t advise parking here if you a lone campervan. We had a strange encounter at about 0330am, someone parked up and then walked beside our van. Probably a one off but be aware.

    Lovely spot just off main road in Heathhall Forest. nice walk through maintained forest path. parking for 12 cars, less if vans/ motorhomes. Take your rubbish home. Let down by local dog owners thinking the poo fairy cleans up after their dogs. Easy to spot the locals, they use the break a stick & flick their dogs poo into the bushes.

    Great place for windy nights - it’s well sheltered by the forest. Yes, we did hear the road at night, but the noise was very consistent and didn’t bother us. We were just really grateful to be out of the wind! The place wasn’t dirty when we were there. Wish we had more time to explore the woods, it looked really pretty, but had to leave early.

    Close to a main road but does quieten down about 10 ish. Immaculately clean and a beautiful place to walk the dogs. Has a bin too, will definitely stop here again

    Sehr lauter Parkplatz, nah an der Straße und am Kreisverkehr, welche stark befahren sind. Nicht sehr sauber, sind sofort weiter gefahren...
