Free village parking for Kerry allotments and ridgeway
Common Road Car Park is a free, council-operated gravel lay-by located on Common Road, serving the village of Kerry and the Kerry Gardens allotments. The unmarked facility accommodates approximately 20 vehicles on a first-come basis; open from dawn until dusk; no overnight parking. There is no lighting or CCTV; daytime visits only. A local community noticeboard at the entrance displays allotment guidelines, village notices, and walking paths to the Kerry Ridgeway trail (1 km). Benches are situated near the lot perimeter overlooking the allotment plots. Pedestrian paths lead directly to the allotment entrance (0.05 km) and to a footpath toward Kerry Hill (3 km). Seasonal village fĂȘtes reduce capacity by 5; signage directs drivers to alternative roadside parking on Church Lane (0.2 km). Maintenance crews clear allotment litter monthly and inspect drainage quarterly.
