Zone de stationnement en pleine nature

Wilderness parking area, says not suitable for long vehicles further up the road. Was fine in a medium size van. Not part of NT so there’s nothing saying no overnight parking. Slight slope

    Very peaceful & felt safer here than trying to camp in a NT car park as the rangers were checking. Bit on a slope though. Very quiet road at night. Pretty easy walk down to Chapel Porth although I did move to one of the NT trust car parks during the day. No height restrictions just a narrowish lane

    beautiful spot but the national trust man did come round and tell us techincally we're not meant to stay overnight. in his words, "im yet to find the stone that says no camping but technically youre not meant to, its not on our route". he told us to stay and was very kind and said it should be okay to stay here but warned us that other NT officers might not be so kind!

    Wir wollten weiter zum Platz am Meer, erfuhren aber, dass der nun höhenbegrenzt ist. Verbrachten hier eine ruhige Nacht.

    great location, you might need levelling blocks, road very quiet during the night, no issues, great walks.

    La vue est magnifique de cet endroit. Il n’y a pas d’interdiction de stationner mais étant donné que le territoire appartient à la National Trust, ils peuvent exiger le départ des campeurs. Le terrain est légèrement en pente. Nous avons préféré le spot d’un parking au dessus de la ville de Saint Agnes.

    We stayed for a night and it was very nice and quiet. The road you need to drive through says “not suitable for long vehicles “, but we’ve got a 6m van and there was no issues. Spot is absolutely stunning, there were some cars for sunset but nobody during the night. The village is near by, and you can do so many hikes around.

    Overall a good spot in a nice area. Not very discreet but we didn't get bothered at all so no problem. nice views and good access to the coastal path.

    Great spot! Just outside the main national trust car park, views of the sea and some incredible coastal walks to a partially restored tin mine. Slept flat bumper to nose but a 4degree hip to hip, but I think that depends where you park in the bay. National trust workers let us know that it’s not for overnight parking but didn’t seem to mind that we had been there for the night.

    Stopped here because there is a height barrier on the NT carpark. This spot is also less windy. Great view! On a bit of a slope though

    Stumbled across this after trying to get into the National trust carpark but there is a height barrier

    Beautiful spot with walks to the beacon, can't see any overnight restrictions or other signs
