Punchbowl Car Park is a free, council-managed gravel lay-by located off Milford Road, serving visitors to the Punchbowl recreation area and nearby countryside walks. The unmarked site accommodates approximately 40 vehicles and is open from dawn until dusk; no overnight parking is permitted. There are no payment machines, lighting, or CCTV; daytime use only is recommended. A wooden information board at the entrance provides maps of local walking trails, details about the Milford Common nature reserve, and seasonal wildlife-spotting tips (e.g., lapwing, skylark). Benches near the lot perimeter overlook rolling farmland. Pedestrian routes lead to waymarked paths to Hopton Woods (0.1 km) and the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal towpath (1 km). Seasonal shepherds fairs reduce capacity by 15; signage directs drivers to alternative nearby lay-bys. Maintenance is conducted quarterly to repair surface erosion and clear fallen branches.
