Parking lot day/night

Birchover,Birchover Road

Birchover Carpark - Nice remote spot with nice views, high up but surrounding trees offer a little shelter from the wind. Car park is mostly even, no signs or restrictions plus no height barrier. As you enter the car park the left hand side is public and the right hand side is reserved for the staff of a nearby quarry who arrive from 6am onwards.

Stayed here on a very cold and snowy December night. Had the whole car park to ourselves. Good walks and the Druid pub was great for dinner, only a short walk away through the woods.

good free carpark for one nights stay. no height restrictions but also no services.. we come to this spot regularly but it can get very busy and rowdy some nights so it's good to have a backup spot.

Nice place for a night. Lovely walk over the moor. Only one and a half (minivan) campers joined us. Today not so quiet in the quarry. Maybe some overtime for today but every 10 minutes a slab of stone is sawn in two. Did not disturb me too much.

Perfect spot with no restrictions, nice even ground, decent phone service and lots of nice walking routes at your fingertips. 10/10 one of the best overnight spots I’ve found.

Great stopover. We stayed on a bank holiday weekend...very quiet, no noise from the quarry. 10 min walk to the Druid Inn and public toilets. Water trough at the bottom of the village formerly provided water for the village of Birchover and now restored.

Nice large carpark, no restrictions. Lovely spot to access the moores. Carpark has a mild slope and in winter can be sludgy. Some light noise from the Stone works over night, and we were disterbed by 2 other vans plus 2 cars who came after dark to all meet up and let their dogs run a muck and fight. Otherwise had a decent sleep.

Great car park for Betty our Campervan, secluded lovely local walks, had a delicious lunch at the Druid Inn and went for a walk to see the Druid stones about 1/2 mile further up the road.

Arrived mid afternoon today to find an encampment of 8 vans. This kind of set up is exactly what the proposed legislation for parking on private land by vanlifers will give reason for the act to succeed. Its pointless protesting if the very same people abuse our simple vanlife code . I left and parked further down the lane where I had the place to myself.

Just us and one other canpervan during the evening, but given a midweek night in November, I'd assume it would be busier during summer or weekends. A few cars pulled up during the evening with teenagers in. The view is very limited in my opinion. There is one spot which has a semi decent view, but only one van can take advantage of it. A little noise from the quarry during the night

No restrictions. Gravel car park. Generally quiet night. Few cars pulled in and out late on, but no bother. No amenities. Free. Please take your rubbish home. Right hand side of car park is for Quarry staff, they come in about 7am but loads of space on the left for 20 Campervans. Good place to park if you want to visit the Nine ladies standing stones.

Beautiful remote location next to Stanton Moor and a short walk to the village of Birchover with 2 brilliant pubs and public toilets (currently closed due to pandemic but pubs are friendly and happy to help) Very friendly and welcoming village. Stayed here 2 nights with no hassle or issues, first night only ones there, 2nd night few other campers arrived but still very quiet.

We stayed here for one night. It was very quiet and we had the car park to ourselves. Convenient for walking.

Ruhiger und geräumiger Platz, danke! Ich bin direkt von dort aus zu dem Steinkreis Nine Ladies gelaufen, und dann zum Cork Stone ( Rundweg, etwa 1h). Super Tagesbeginn!

Good quiet place with excellent access to local walks. Few vans parked up overnight and from about 8.30am walkers started arriving. Would definitely stay here again.

Great spot. Quite remote, easy access to footpath. Steepish approach and tight bend from the main road, but no issues for 7.5 metre mh.

Stayed here on a Friday night good quiet night. Quarry was open in the morning but wasn't that load.

Stopped here for 1 night. Car park busy on a Sunday afternoon (handy for Stanton Moor) but everyone left by 4pm and it was very quiet all night. A very quiet road. Barely heard quarry workers arriving in morning at opposite end of car park.
