Free rural parking for Whitchurch countryside trails
Worlds End Car Park is a free, council-managed gravel lay-by located on Moss Lane, serving the rural western edge of Whitchurch and nearby countryside walks. The unmarked facility accommodates approximately 30 vehicles on a first-come basis; open from dawn until dusk, no overnight parking. There is no lighting or CCTV; daytime use only. An information board at the entrance displays walking trail maps (to Cholmondeley Castle, 5 km) and local wildlife details (e.g., wild boar, red kites). Benches and picnic tables are positioned near the lot perimeter overlooking rolling farmland. Pedestrian paths lead directly to the Offas Dyke Path (0.1 km) and to the North Shropshire Canal towpath (0.5 km). Seasonal cycling events reduce capacity by 10; drivers are directed to the Brownlow Street overflow lot (1 km). Maintenance crews clear invasive vegetation quarterly and perform litter picks monthly.
