Zone de stationnement utilisée par les propriétaires de bateau sur le canal pendant leur absence. Peut être complet le week-end mais sinon pas de problèmes ou de restrictions. Calme le soir.

Parking area used by canal boat owners while away. Can get full around weekends but otherwise no issues or restrictions. Quiet in the evening. We used the canal boat dump point over the road a couple of times. Not sure if that's allowed.

Netter Parkplatz am Kanal. Blickgeschützt durch Bäume rundherum. Der Platz ist eben und trotz naher Straße ruhig.

    Stayed here for 1 night (30/08/23) Lovely spot used by canal boat owners. Very friendly if you ask someone before parking up. Allowed us to empty our chemical toilet. Enjoyable walk along the canal. Only really suitable for small to medium camper vans due to overall size of the car park.

    Great spot stayed one nitgh as I was on my way to somewhere else, very friendly boaters, toilets are locked and you need the crt key to use them.

  • 5/5

    Lovely spot right next to the canal. Was about 4 other vans there when we arrived. Peaceful and beautiful. We’d definitely return.

  • 2/5

    Very small parking area and tight even in 6 meter van. Dark in the trees and other side of the road lighter but not much room.

  • 4/5

    Nice area, nice walks. Signal very hit and miss. No local shops but uber eats delivered our Co op shopping to us. Can be busy but we waited for someone to leave for a space. fairly level. Used canal water and waste facilities no issues.

  • 3/5

    Lovely area on the lock & very busy with vehicles tho if you want to prevent bombarding bird poo dont park top right hand corner, where the opening leads onto the tow path. Ear plugs are recommended for the single lane bridge road trail. Butiful walks both ways. No convenient shops nearby. Bins, water & Elsan are provided for the boats so take it at your own risk to use these facilities.

  • 5/5

    lots of facilities thanks to the nearby lock.

  • 4/5

    Great location next to the canal, very pretty. Car park is fairly level and quite small but managed to fit our 7.4m van in the corner. Quite full with cars during the day and night. Not the most peaceful as when traffic crosses the bridge it makes a thumping noise, but minimal at night. 2 bars signal on EE & o2.

    Great area for overnight stop. We arrived late so was busy with cars and one motor home but found a space. Lovely and quiet overnight.

  • 5/5

    Great spot. Very busy with cars from canal boat owners but a couple of free spaces. Five minute walk to a lovely pub and locals very friendly.

  • 5/5

    Quiet after 2000 on a weekday. would stay again, nice spot.

  • 3/5

    Spent one night here. Arrived around 5pm and was busy but parked up in the corner. One motorhome pulled up later and 2 vans were parked up. Was relatively quiet through the night with a steady flow of cars but not loud. In morning had a nice quiet dog walk. Wouldn't use again as something just felt a bit off, like I wasn't supposed to be there somehow. Left about 10am and carpark was not full.

    little gem of a spot. lovely canal walks amazing scenery

  • 3/5

    Peaceful by the canal. 1 other campervan there with approx 6 cars parked up. Pleasant pub less than a 5 minute walk away.

  • 5/5

    Lovely spot, water, waste disposal and toilet point (all intended for canal use).

  • 4/5

    really lovely stop by the canal. Would be fantastic for kayaking! and great walks The toilets were locked, I think they are only for people on boats. But other than that it is great!

  • 5/5

    Splendid place to stay in a nicely secluded, wooded area, right on the canal. Level and well drained. There are good walks both ways along the canal. I'd recommend turning right and following the signs to The Fox and Hounds (very dog friendly). From the A4, make sure you cross the canal bridge, then turn right. The parking on the other bank is strictly for boat owners.

    Ein schöner Platz im Grünen an einem Kanal gelegen. Tagsüber moderater Verkehr, nachts ruhig. An dieser Stelle im Kanal liegen einige Hausboote. Vermutlich gehören einige Autos auf dem Parkplatz zu den Hausbootbesitzern, deswegen könnte der Parkplatz recht voll sein. Mülleimer ist vorhanden, allerdings sollte der eigene Müll eher woanders entsorgt werden, da dieser wohl für die Spaziergänger sind.

    Car park back open since last comment, convenient place to stop over and would return if passing, quiet and relatively out the way.

  • 5/5

    Great place to stop quiet and great facility’s. Unfortunately currently the carparknosnclosed due to works.

  • 4/5

    Lovely free woodland carpark besides canal. A few parked cars (Monday 1.30pm) but otherwise plenty of space & we got the best spot right at the end! Surrounded by trees, no overhanging branches. Very level. Slight noise of road traffic, barely noticeable. Wonderfully peaceful location. Birdsong is louder. 3/4G. Responsible grey water discharge is possible. No rubbish bin in carpark. Beautiful.

  • 4/5

    Nice spot for a night. Was a good night sleep without any concerns. When we arrived at 10pm just has one car place.

  • 5/5

    Great parking spot! It’s flat, unrestricted & there’s plenty of space. The road was quite busy through the night when I stayed so consider bringing ear plugs.

  • 4/5

    Nice pretty spot and very convenient for stop over on way down south. Road is a little noisy, earplugs recommended for light sleepers. Would recommend.

  • 5/5

    Arrived at 7pm and only one other campervan with us, lovely location and frendly locals. road is used 24/7 and the bridge is noisy but soon fell to sleep

  • 5/5

    Lovely, calm and peaceful

  • 5/5

    Beautiful spot, four other vans parked along side 2 possibly overnighting, other vans belonging to people living in boats. very quiet and tranquil at night. level ground. would stay here again.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful location. lovely canal walks. nice pub nearby for refreshments and facilities, even welcomed my younger one in at 10am for bathroom. road next to car park is a busy one..can hear cars frequently but the moving water of the nearby lock made for nice peaceful sounds to tune into.

    Netter Parkplatz in einem Wäldchen direkt an einem Kanal. Der Parkplatz selbst ist viel genutzt und dementsprechend voll, aber dennoch ruhig in der Nacht. Wenn es zuvor regnerisch war oder regnet, ist es ziemlich matschig. Trotzdem absolut empfehlenswert, genau wie einen Spaziergang entlang des Kanals zu unternehmen.

    Not quite as quiet as I was hoping! We arrived at about 7:30pm on a Saturday, the carpark was about 3/4 full, although we were the only camper. I assume the rest of the vehicles were owned by people on the canal boats. The car park was quite flat, so no problem getting level and is very nicely situated next to the canal, where we were able to launch our kayak from. It’s a short walk to a pub, which looked nice but we didn’t have time to give it a try. On the other side of the canal are some boat services, including a toilet, although that was locked at some-point in the evening. As for the noise, the carpark itself was quiet, but there were several points in the night when cars/motorbikes were driving up and down at speed. I should have remembered the earplugs!

    Great car park. nice and quiet during the night but busy after 6/7 a.m. we stayed at the weekend so it might have been because of that. loads of dog walkers, bikes, cars with canoes etc there are 2 car parks, one of each side of the road.

  • 5/5

    Nice and quiet place.

    I stayed here one night after a delightful visit to The Spring Inn. Very quiet and overall a place I would happily stay again.

  • 5/5

    Very quiet place and nice walk along the canal

  • 5/5

    Lovely quiet spot. Stayed overnight to attend a wedding nearby, car park used by visitors to the canal lock and canal boat owners. Facilities across the road are for mooring licence holders only so we didn't use them.
