Wolstenbury at dawn on a clear day is just fabulous.......views North and South. Definitely worth an early start. Likely to encounter all manner of wildlife on the way up too......
Any parking meter at somehere like the Beacon car park would probably last about 5 mins before someone...
Correct. There is however a free car park at the bottom of the hill on the North side where Underhill Lane crosses the Beacon Road. The car park at Clayton Windmills is a 2 mile walk from the Beacon (undulating but not stupidly steep as you're mostly on the top of the ridge).
