Canal parking, quiet overnight

Used this spot before. We love it. Short walk to town, a lovely canal to walk along. Very quiet night.

Excellent stopover, short walk to town and also to the Caen Hill locks. Peaceful Saturday night, with a couple of other vans.✦Translating

Stayed overnight Saturday and Sunday, very quiet Sunday night, would recommend, short walk into town with shops and pubs and coffee shops, toilets 30p in town very clean

I stopped here Saturday night,Amazing Spot, very quiet, a few campers around.

Parked here on a Sunday, only paid £1 for the whole day to 4:00 then paid 90p the following morning to give us until 09:00 to leave. Parked in front of the theatre with our back end over the grass. It was a bit slopey so when it got dark, we reversed up on to the kerb which straightened us out nicely. Great park up, lovely walk along the canal watching the barges. Quiet at night. Would recommend.

Beautiful, quiet car park. I had a space right on the quay overlooking the narrowboats. Free at night; during the day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. it costs £7.70.✦Translating

Great little carpark right by the canal, arrived in the evening and parked overnight, we’re 7.5m, managed to park in a space overhanging the grass getting all four wheels in the bay, very quiet, free overnight, paid in the morning and sat out on the benches behind our space looking at canal, then went for a lovely walk down the canal to a Caen Hill cafe overlooking the locks, beautiful views.

Arrived about 10pm, very quiet, other campers there. Next to police station. Stayed free till 8am then paid £3 for 4 hours so went for breakfast (brogans cafe is a must). Very convenient and no gates!

Staying here for bank holiday. Great little spot right by the canal. Water is available. Plenty of space for any size motorhome. We are 7.5 mtrs and just put the overhang on the grass. No disturbances during the night. Only 3 other vans here.

Be warned the parking warden was out and about at 8 am looking for offenders. We have a 7.5 M bessacarr and had to put the rear wheels up on the kerb to fit in the parking bay which coincidentally levelled us up for the night. It was very quiet and safe and we had an undistubed nights sleep until 7.30am when the joggers turned up slaming their car doors. We stayed on a Friday night in December.

Nice spot, next to the Kennet and Avon Canal. Free parking from 6pm till 8am. Some noise/activity in the evening, then fairly quiet until 7am when the joggers and dog walkers arrive! Easy walk into town with lots of pubs and restaurants. No facilities on site. Stayed Sept. 2023

Excellent little overnight spot, you're overlooking the canal, next 2 the museum and the main town centre. Spaces are only standard size but with wide grass verges behind so you can still get in fine if you have a long overhang. No toilets at the car park, nearest public toilets are 4 mins walk & only open 9am - 4.30pm but spotlessly clean & attended. Sainsbury's about a 5 minute walk. Very Safe

Great overnight stop Sat 12th August. 4 other vans staying and very quiet. Sunday parking fee £1 all day, so we walked all the way down Caen Hill and back up again. Lots eating places open on Saturday evening. We will use this car park again.

we arrived just after 6 pm. Some canal fold we're having a jolly time by the water. They weren't at all noisy after 10 pm. There were Also a few working van lifters. We left before 8 am as we were worried that our van was too long to fit in one space. Nice and quiet in the night.

Nice view of the canal. lots of space .just arrived so looking forward to a comfortable night.
