    Got there just after 7pm and it was chained off.

    Couldn’t get in, didn’t really look very hard for another entrance because it was dark, so maybe we missed it.

    Carpark at a sports field.

    Toilets on the side of rugby club which were left open until 9pm and open again at 6am. Down a side street so quiet, few cars/ people/ dogs coming and going from the park. Drinking water available

    The place is basically a car park.

    No toilet. A rugby field in front of you. Really quiet all night long (i woke up at 10.30 am!).

    You have the rugby club on your left so you have a light all night long who makes the car park safe.

    It's close at 6pm the winter and 9pm the rest of the year. I was lucky it was 10.30pm and it was open (maybe because no van was there).

    Only 2 vehicles can go on this carpark.
