Salt Lane is one of the closest public car parks to Coventry Cathedral, with the cathedral’s visitor information describing the walk as 6 minutes (coventrycathedral.org.uk).

Cox Street and West Orchard Alternatives Near the Centre
Cox Street, CV1 5GA, is a short-stay public car park around a 5-minute walk from Coventry Cathedral (coventrycathedral.org.uk). Its position makes it a practical alternative when a short visit matters more than parking directly beside the shopping area.
West Orchard is another named parking option associated with the centre’s restaurants. Zizzi’s Coventry page says there is plenty of parking at West Orchard (zizzi.co.uk), putting it on the shortlist for a meal or shopping trip around Cathedral Lanes.
