Car Parks

The Magdalen Road car park has spaces for more than 100 cars split between long and short stay areas. Further along Magdalene Road adjacent to Barclays Bank you will find a smaller shoppers' car park holding about 40 cars. A third small car park is located at the end of Market Street next door to the Guildhall.

If you are planning a longer visit, there is also a long stay car park in Stonehouse Road near to the swimming pool. This has 30 spaces plus 3 reserved for disabled drivers and 4 for parents with small children, and 2 coach bays. All of these parks are free though there is a ticket dispenser in each and you are required to display a ticket in your windscreen. This is to help ensure short stay car parking remains just that. There is also plenty of street parking along the High Street and side roads.
