Higher-education parking at Bedford College is charged at £1 per day during term-time, with a permit available from the college and required at all times (bedfordcollegegroup.ac.uk). This arrangement is aimed at eligible students rather than casual visitors. Its published tariff is £1 for up to 3 hours, £1.50 for up to 4 hours, £2.50 for up to 5 hours and £7 for a day ticket (beds.ac.uk). The institution’s page identifies the car parks and tariff, while the college’s own campus page describes student parking at Cauldwell Street as limited and permit-controlled (bedfordcollegegroup.ac.uk). ## Parksy Parking Spaces Near Bedford College For a short visit, a secure 24/7 parking lot is 219 yards from the campus and costs £1.60 an hour. A secure parking space in Heron Quay is 293 yards away at £12 a day, making it more suitable for a full day of classes or staff attendance. The Child Development Centre has a convenient space 0.3 miles away at £4.20 an hour, which suits visitors needing a nearby hourly booking. Two Bedford Hospital South Wing listings are also 0.3 miles away: one is £0.60 an hour and the other £4.50 an hour. The lower-priced option is suited to students or staff staying for several hours, while the other provides an additional visitor choice. Show map of Bedford ## Busy Periods and Street Restrictions Around Cauldwell Street Term-time demand is particularly relevant because the college’s higher-education parking charge applies during term-time (bedfordcollegegroup.ac.uk). Cauldwell Street parking is limited at the campus, while the wider Bedford College Group says parking at all other sites is limited but free (bedfordcollegegroup.ac.uk). The college’s published campus information identifies limited student parking at Cauldwell Street and free on-road parking at Kempston Campus, rather than presenting Cauldwell Street as unrestricted street parking (bedfordcollegegroup.ac.uk). Drivers heading to the campus should therefore distinguish permit bays from surrounding public parking. ## St Marys Gardens and Other Public Car Parks Near Bedford College St Marys Gardens Car Park is accessed between Borough Hall and Bedford College and has postcode MK42 9AP (bedford.gov.uk). Its position beside the college makes it a practical public-car-park alternative when a campus permit is not available. The council listing places St Marys Gardens directly in the Bedford College area, so it can serve visitors and staff who need public parking rather than a student-permit bay (bedford.gov.uk). The published council information gives the access point, operating hours and first tariff band, allowing a short appointment to be planned around the stated one-hour charge.
