Pitches and Parking

This group have parked well.
Tucked neatly into the side so other cars can pass and use the turning area.
Note - new extra turning area near Strawberry Fields.
Please leave clear for other people to turn
(I know, it looks tempting to park in )
but just turn and park neat into the side of the road.
If you see a photo of your tent that you don't want published here, please let me know and I will delete it.
