I think the parking place for the Precipice walk in Wales
(https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/394294583) which also has a toilet
and a picnic table would be considered a trailhead.
There is also a nice sign
https://xian.smugmug.com/Vacation/Wales-2018/i-hC7kWcK/A to tell you
that you are at the right place to start the walk
(http://dolgellau.wales/walks/precipice-walk.php)

But given that all the facilities and paths are mapped, I wonder which
additional information "trailhead" brings in this case.
