Free lay-by parking for Clee Hills walks
B4385 Parking is a free, council-managed gravel lay-by situated on the B4385 road running through the rural village of Clunton. The unmarked facility accommodates approximately 20 vehicles on a first-come, first-served basis; it is open from dawn until dusk with no overnight stays permitted. There are no lighting or CCTV provisions, so visitors are advised to park during daylight hours. A wooden noticeboard at the entrance displays local walking trail maps for the nearby Clee Hills and information on native wildlife (e.g., red kites and roe deer). Benches and picnic tables are positioned near the lots perimeter overlooking rolling farmland. Pedestrian footpaths lead directly to the Clunton village green (0.5 km) and onward to the Clee Hills ridge walk (2 km). During summer heritage festivals in Clunton, capacity can be reduced by up to 30%; temporary signage directs overflow to a private field park-and-ride (1 km). Maintenance crews clear litter monthly and trim overgrown hedgerows quarterly.
