The south and east sides of the Gordano car park are bounded by a high landscaped bank crowned with planted woodland. While forming a visual boundary to the car park the woodland extends back over the rear of the slope, forming an area primarily intended for dog-walkers but also deliciously quiet and cool on a very busy, very warm day. The true site boundary is a post and rail fence, just seen on the left. The woodland also effectively screens the motorway services site from the western outskirts of Easton-in-Gordano.
