Welcome to the East Cliffe Picnic Site and Toilets, an ideal stopover nestled along the picturesque A36 near Salisbury.

Imagine pulling into a tranquil area where the soft sounds of nature meet the gentle flow of the nearby river. The East Cliffe Picnic Site is an exceptional resting point, particularly beloved by those traveling in campervans or motorhomes.

This sentiment underscores the East Cliffe Picnic Site's charm as both a practical and relaxing pit stop.

Not any refreshments on a Sunday late afternoon, good toilets and nice place to rest a bit. In weekdays the mobile van is very good for fast food options and a cup of tea all at a reasonable price.
