Scenic free parking at Berkley Lake
Managed by Somerset Council, this gravel-surface country park car park offers approximately 80 spaces adjacent to the lake shore and picnic areas. Parking is free year-round, with no overnight stay permitted. Informal bays are demarcated by wooden posts; overflow grass parking expands capacity during peak summer weekends. Directional signage guides visitors to walking trails and bird-hide viewing areas. The site is unlit after dusk but benefits from natural surveillance by park rangers during opening hours (7 am–9 pm). Ideal for families, dog-walkers and anglers.
