Free parking near Montgomery town and hill trails
Maldwyn Way Car Park is a free council-managed gravel lay-by located off the B4385, serving Montgomery town centre and the local hill trails. The unmarked facility accommodates approximately 30 vehicles on a first-come basis; open from dawn until dusk; overnight parking is prohibited. There is no lighting or CCTV; daytime visits only. An information board displays trail maps for the 4 km Montys Walk, historical notes on the towns medieval walls, and wildlife-spotting tips (e.g., red kites, wild ponies). Benches and picnic tables are positioned near the lot perimeter overlooking the Shropshire Hills. Pedestrian paths lead directly to the Montgomery Town Centre (0.2 km) and to the canal towpath (0.1 km). Seasonal hill running events reduce capacity by 5; signage directs drivers to the Plassey Street car park (0.4 km). Maintenance crews clear litter monthly and trim vegetation quarterly.
