Parking for Bath World Heritage Centre on York Street
Bath World Heritage Centre is at 10 York Street, Kingsmead, Bath, BA1 1NH, in the city centre. The centre's official visitor information highlights parking and travel options in Bath, including parking bays for Blue Badge holders in a number of locations, and notes that not all vehicles are charged (bathworldheritage.org.uk).
The site is free to visit, which makes a nearby parking choice the main cost to plan for (visitbath.co.uk).

For a close arrival, Parksy lists a 24/7 space at Holiday Inn Express Bath, 92 yd away, at £80 a day, plus a Bay Tree Road space 96 yd away at £4.50 a day.
When Kingsmead Parking Is Busiest and How the Streets Work
The centre sits in the heart of Bath, where demand is shaped by the wider city-centre visitor area rather than by a dedicated attraction car park (visitbath.co.uk).
The practical distinction for drivers is that a street bay is not the same as a general free parking area, so the permitted vehicle type and local restriction shown at the individual bay determine whether it can be used.
Bath City-Centre Car Parks Beyond York Street
Visit Bath says there are quite a few car parks within the city centre, alongside on-street parking in certain areas (visitbath.co.uk). Its visitor information places the centre at 10 York Street, Bath, BA1, and describes parking and drop-off information for the attraction (visitbath.co.uk). These city-centre facilities are the named official route for drivers who prefer a conventional car park rather than searching for a street bay.
The official World Heritage guidance also identifies Blue Badge bays in a number of locations and says that not all vehicles are charged (bathworldheritage.org.uk). Parksy lists a 24/7 parking lot in Bath, 308 yd from the centre, at £16 a day, and parking at Travelodge Guest - Bath Waterside, 0.3 mi away, at £8 a day.
