Il s’agit d’un parking en gravier / aire de pique-nique avec de nombreuses poubelles et un banc de pique-nique. Il y a assez de place pour 10 voitures et probablement cinq camping-cars de bonne taille. Il n'y a pas d'équipements mais a une vue magnifique

This is a gravel car park/picnic area with plenty of rubbish bins and a picnic bench. There is enough room for an access of 10 cars and probably five good size motorhomes. There are no amenities but has a great view

    Amazing views and lots of space for many vehicles. Walked to Folly Tower from here - it has a very humorous history! Construction on other side of the road but not too loud just lots of builders taking their breaks in the layby. Road is loud but no traffic between 11pm and 6am.

    Zur Zeit Großbaustelle nebenan, von daher super busy und laut, in Sekunden Takt piept irgendwas! Nicht für ein Mittagsschlaf zu gebrauchen :/

    Stopped here for an afternoon/overnight. Had a similar experience as others with it being a bit busy with passing traffic and quite a lot of coming and going during the day, but definitely quietened down later and views make it worth it. Some teenagers turned up later in the evening for about an hour or so to hang out. They were a bit noisy but actually no bother.

    Nice enough views, quite busy with people stopping for a break from driving. bit noisy from other cars going by. Theres a bin & phone signal was good. Road was quieter during the night, but you are basically on the side of road so it is noisy when they come by. At about 12.30am someone pulled over and was quite noisy, wheel span off and that was it - but wasn't for long. would happily stay again

    Parked here to chill for afternoon. Lovely view. Bit further up the road than where google maps postcode took us. Opposite new houses. Gravel lay-by. Road a little bit busy

    Great place to park for the night. Traffic can be abit annoying but it’s few and far between the later it gets. Good views and bins available

    A really overnight stop, fairly level gravel car park beside the road but since it was a B road was very quite night. But not a place to park on a windy night as it sits on the brow of a hill. Nearby Faringdon has good amenities and several food outlets.

    Beautiful view

    Easy to find , basically a large flat gravelled lay-by on a B road with a bin, some traffic eve and morning but not enough to disturb sleep. No other vans parked up, view of fields and rolling hills. No shelter so could get quite windy but we would stop here again.

    People use this car park as a place to wait for a while, just sat in their car. Also there is a fair bit of traffic passing regularly throughout the night. I stayed on a Friday evening in October, so it may be different at other times. Felt safe though.
