(NE39 2AG) - Chopwell Woods Road

Beautiful spot, free parking, lots of signposted walks and maps, mountain bike trails too. No services, but picnic benches in the woodland a short walk in from the car park. Car park is pretty level. I've only visited for the day but when I was leaving at around 6ish the carpark was mostly vans and campers so seems like a good place to stop. No signs about overnight parking either, just no camping or fires in the forest. Very dog friendly.
