The free truckstop on the road between Southampton and Poole must be the best in the UK,you exit down a small rural lane heading to a forest, there is a large cafe open from 8 am to 20.00, good breakfasts, there is a cctv 24 hours, clean toilets, if they are shut, there is an outside tap at the rear of the loo block if you want to have a quick shave in the morning.
Avonheath, the name of it, but it does get full early, and camping vans and caravans are banned from the truck parking, the limit for trucks is 12 hours, but i can not see that being checked.
The New Forest is yards away from the truck park if you fancy a wonder, but try not to get lost in the dark.
The Shell garage sells beer and wine if you want a drink at night,it is on the roundabout as you exit it.
A very quiet spot, no traffic noise.
Just before that is Ringwood…free parking and very close to shops, pubs etc. Or opposite the speedway stadium in Poole itself is also free and close to all ameneties.
