    Very quiet overnight with only a few cars passing. Very busy on the Sunday morning with dog walkers and some disapproving looks. 3km walk starting here around the nature reserve, with cycle prohibited

    Lay-by off main road, quiet overnight, safe spot no issues. There’s a bin, no other services, 4G on EE weak but worked

    Had a quiet night. Close to the road but at night traffic stops. A lot of dogwalkers but very friendly people. Good place to rest during a trip.

    stayed 21.5.23. a bit of noise from traffic going past during the night and early morning but still managed a decent sleep. lovely picnic area right by the parking and nice little bimble through the woods. did the 2 hour walk and it took 1 hour so only a short walk but nice and pretty.

    Lovely little layby - absolutely nothing to worry about beyond an errant squirrel eyeing your sandwich…. Quiet after dark… even though I know the squirrel is up in the tree, plotting their next sandwich grab!

    Nice little fairly quiet layby next to a woodland walk. myself my wife and dog didn't get disturbed. we were up for 5.30 just as the traffic started to move through

    Very pretty spot with walks and wildlife! would recommend! the road is active during the day! not every person pulling up is a dogger or suspicious when you are parking up in spots for free you will always have people come and go it's the nature of free parking spots they never cause trouble!

    Near main road but not much traffic. It’s the starting point of some nice walks but the woods nearby seem to be used by the local youth to play loud music/party/etc

    We didn't meet any doggers, but enjoyed free parking, picnic table, a couple of beautiful walks through the reserve and star gazing at night. It's basically a lay-by by the main road so quite a bit of traffic during the day but it died down during the night. If you can get there by sunset you can find a bench on one of the routes perfectly located to watch the sun go down.

    We pulled into this around sunset, it’s just a lay-by off the road with space for about three cars. Nice location next to a nature reserve, however there were two cars parked there with men in. We strongly suspected this was the local dogging spot so pulled straight back out

    Good place to stay overnight, has two tables surrounded by trees, so a lovely breakfast/dinner spot. Beautiful walks! But, if you stay overnight it’s possible loud farming vehicles will pass by.

    L'enfer. Hyper bruyant. Passage toute la nuit. Place pour stationnement limite si vous êtes en camping-car de plus de 6,50 m. On s est éloigné de la m6 en pensant que se serait plus paisible pour dormir.
