Advice on spots for napping/having a kip 😴 [Holyhead Ferry]

[dakang]

Hello

Bit of an odd one this. I need to travel in the next week and am getting a ferry. The ferry gets in, in the early hours.

My onward journey is 6 hours and would rather get some shut eye when I arrive. I'm also not a big fan of night time driving while knackered.

So the question is, any tips/advice on where to pull over for a few hours of kip? I have a Model 3 mattress that I've used for camping a few times.

And what's the law in the UK regarding this, if at all? Clearly I'm not going to be on the side of a busy road, I'm not mad, but just thinking of places where it is safe to do so. I thought of a Supercharger site (not plugged in) but none near my arrival point.

Cheers!

Too many cops and border police who'll tell me to be on my way I guess!

Thanks but I presume lockdown means most of these are closed!

It's a directory of mostly public car parks that allow overnight parking. It rates the parking place and details any surrounding amenities.

The pay for spots e.g. campsites may be closed though.

If you are going to be leaving before 7 in the morning then park in the Argos car park take the first exit off the A55 turn left at the top go through the first roundabout and right at the second and in to the Argos car park.

Been a while since I was over that way but it should still be fine.

Thanks, that's an option.

Thanks but I was referring to any laws on camping/sleeping in your car

There are no laws in the UK against sleeping in your car as long as you are parked legally and aren't drunk or drugged.
