This is the parking area at Shipley Bridge, you can comfortably get 20 cars in the car park and another 2 or 3 in a small roadside parking spot on the eastern side of the bridge. Its a very popular spot, with plenty of families taking advantage of the good tarmac path to Avon Dam. You can also be a little more adventurous and head up to Eastern White Barrow, Redlake or Grippers Hill as well. You’ll sometimes get an ice cream van in summer here, or a coffee van in winter. There are also toilets here, and recently the National park have added a pay and display paying into the car park, and blocked off all but the above 2/3 spaces of any roadside parking that existed.
