(SP5 3HH) Downton - Moot Lane

Delightful little car park for Downton Moot. Downton Moot is the site of a castle, only earthworks visible now. But it was made into a pleasure ground for a stately home and now has a lovely 'lost gardens' feel. Car park is free as is the wilderness garden, and there is a lovely walk along the river, saw someone swimming, and lots of wildlife including a kingfisher! I was the only vehicle here overnight, very peaceful, locals seem friendly. No prohibitions. Note there is a 2.1 m height barrier so only suitable for low campervans. The place is spotless so leave it so.
