    Parking goudronné, plat en grande partie, un peu à l'écart de la route, avec une vue bien dégagée. Calme la nuit, passage de véhicules dès le matin tôt. Ça dépanne dans un secteur où nous ne sommes pas bienvenues...

    Lovely park up with fab views. It was very very windy and at one point we thought the van had grown wings and taken off to the Shetland Islands!! Van life in Feb hey! We couldn’t hear the road noise through the wind as you may have gathered… it was windy! I’d stay again, and if the weather is bad, have a few bottles of wine and be rocked to sleep.

    Excellent off road park up away from the villages. Quite road at night. Good 4G. Bin. Plenty of space. Would recommend.

  • 5/5

    Toller Platz mit super Aussicht mit bis zu 6 Plätzen. 2 Mülltonnen, sonst keine Ausstattung. Für eine Zwischenübernachtung echt zu empfehlen!

  • 5/5

    Ver genoeg van de weg om geen auto’s te horen. Prima plek voor een overnachting!

  • 5/5

    This is a beautiful spot on flat tarmac. Stayed in our 7.2m motorhome with another Moho and 3 campers. Visits from the local sheep and views were wonderful. No noise from road but it was a very windy night creating quite a noise and the van shook at times :) All adds to the memories!

  • 5/5

    Fantastic view. Set back from the road a little. Quiet overnight.

  • 5/5

    Here right now for the night, first to park up so got the prime spot. Lovely views over heather land down to the sea. Sharing the spot with three other campervans. Space for a few more. Set back from the main road so pretty quiet. Would recommend this spot for some free overnight camping!

  • 4/5

    Lay-by off the road with views out to sea. 2 motorhomes and 3 campervans the night we stopped there and space for another 2 or 3 with considerate parking. Convenient picnic table also. Spent very quiet night.

  • 4/5

    Nice view. At the road, but quiet in the night. You can walk half an hour directly to the coast, but there is no way or trail, you just have to walk.

  • 4/5

    tolle Aussicht, 2 Mülltonnen und Picknickplatz vorhanden. Platz für 4-5 Fahrzeuge

  • 5/5

    Toller Platz mit schöner Aussicht, wir haben ihn leider zu spät gefunden und waren nur zum Frühstück hier!

  • 5/5

    Great for overnight stop. Level ground and great views. Stayed one night and there were 3 over vans staying too. Felt very safe. Was very quiet overnight but quite busy in day time with coaches and cars stopping to take pictures of view and use bins.

  • 5/5

    As said before, great park up with bins and mega view.

  • 5/5

    Great large parking area on top of open moor land, big enough for a few large motorhomes . Next to a Marie Curie cancer gardens with picnic table. As you are high up great views of the sea. There is also a rubbish bin. great for NC500 stop over. over night parking allowed. Recommended.

  • 5/5

    I stayed here as a single girl on my own with my dog whilst doing the NC500, and I felt safe. The views were great and there were bins accessible. There were other vans here, and it was quiet at night. great stop, and I would recommend it.

  • 5/5

    Fantastic stop. Spent a couple of nights here. Stunning view and short walk to an even better one. Busy during the day but quiet at night. Level. Bins on site but both were full. Picnic Benches in Field of Hope.

  • 4/5

    Nice flat car park set back from road. The road was quiet until about 5.30am. Overall a good night's sleep. Surrounded by a few ewes n lambs. Please keep your dogs on a lead especially during April to June for the ground nesting birds.

  • 3/5

    Nice views and has bins. Popular stop off place for people taking photos so a little busy but quiet at night. Flat and there are toilets about 1 mile away.

  • 5/5

    Great little spot here with three other vans - nice sunset and even though just off the main road surprisingly quiet overnight Marie Curie field of hope next door with beautiful daffodils in full bloom

  • 5/5

    Spent a very quiet night here with two other vans. Nice and level, stunning views, bin provided and good phone signal on 3 network.

  • 4/5

    Great stop over. Beautiful views. Near road but no road noise overnight. Peaceful night sleep.

  • 5/5

    Have it all to myself, barely notice the road, fairly large area with bins. Amazing view over the moorland towards the sea. Great spot.

  • 5/5

    Great spot on the nc500 route. The road is close however didn’t keep us awake in the night

  • 5/5

    sensational. we saw the northern lights here. use the aurora app to see if there's a chance to look out. we also walked across the Marsh land to get to the sea edge. and it was stunning. abit hard to walk but amazing. Nice quiet spot and had no one else here with us. the views are sensational.

  • 4/5

    Parfait pour une halte d'une nuit parking plat et calme

  • 4/5

    Great place however was a little windy!! But views were amazing! Even managed to see sunrise!

  • 4/5

    Lovely level park up that fits 4-6 vans (depending how parked) right next to the Marie Curie field. I’m sure in nice weather that the views out to sea would be amazing but we had rain and high winds so were really exposed (thus 4 stars). Slept fine with ear plugs. Had signal with EE. Basic convenience of bins available. Really must be self sufficient to stay here.

  • 5/5

    lovely tarmac stop great views. couple of rubbish bins. away from road. just a beautiful stop. no restrictions. well recommended

  • 4/5

    Yup, beautiful views away from main road. Bins available for rubbish but no other services. There is a lot of noise from the road but quiet between around 10pm to 6am. Space for 7 vehicles.

  • 4/5

    Nice view for a lunch. By the main road and with bins

  • 4/5

    parcheggio asfaltato e in piano, nessun divieto di parcheggio notturno. notte tranquilla, è vicino alla strada ma non c'è traffico di notte.

  • 4/5

    Lovely spot for lunch - the views are great.

  • 4/5

    Nice level tarmacced spot with space for 6 vans if parked well. Views. Was ideal for our breakfast stop. :‐)

  • 5/5

    Schöner Parkplatz an der Straße. Groß genug für mehrere Wohnmobile. Tolle Aussicht und Picknickbänke vorhanden. Kein Nachtparken verboten ausgeschildert.

  • 4/5

    Nice place but no sign of this elusive main toad anywhere! I heard he’s a big deal

  • 4/5

    Stopped to see the main toad but no sign of him whatsoever. Drove on.

  • 5/5

    Excellent spot at side of road no road noise to worry about due to speed of traffic. Bin for rubbish

  • 5/5

    Nice sized car park on the side of the road. Nice views over looking the sea, woke up to a sheep and lamb close by. Very quiet, didn’t hear any road traffic and less windy than it was by the coast

  • 3/5

    Nice spot shame about the litter. Just off the main road and not much traffic passing overnight so a quiet place to stop. Looks like folk have emptied their waste here. ?

  • 1/5

    Stopped to take in the view, but the smell of human excrement was overpowering in the small ditch next to the wall of the Field of Hope. Think some people had been using it as a toilet/ place to empty their tanks. A couple of nice ladies who were litter picking said that the locals think it's very disrespectful to do this next to a Marie Curie Field of Hope, and that it happens every year.

  • 5/5

    Nice, quiet place! You can see the sea from a distance!
