This is the most direct choice for drivers heading to 43 Apple Orchard, Prestbury, Cheltenham, GL52 3EH, with access arranged around the racecourse entrances. Cheltenham Festival is the main exception to the usual free-arrival arrangement: racegoers intending to park on-site require a car or coach parking pass (thejockeyclub.co.uk). The festival also provides Park & Ride access from Arle Court, described by the venue as offering quick and easy access (thejockeyclub.co.uk). Accessible parking is concentrated in Blue 2 near the North Entrance (thejockeyclub.co.uk), while the Owners & Trainers Car Park is by the North Entrance and is entered via Southam Lane or from the Evesham approach (thejockeyclub.co.uk). ## Nearby Car Parks Around Prestbury and Cheltenham The council’s Cheltenham Racecourse Park & Ride site is north of Cheltenham town centre, close to the A435 Evesham Road (gloucestershire.gov.uk). It is a practical alternative when an event-day pass is required for the venue’s own car parks, with bus information available from Stagecoach on 01452 418630 (gloucestershire.gov.uk). For drivers looking beyond the official site, nearby named parking areas include the Prince of Wales Stadium and Pittville Pump Room. The Park & Ride location and the stadium are useful reference points on the Cheltenham side of the racecourse, while Pittville Pump Room provides a town-side alternative. The racecourse’s own visitor information also identifies local bus services and taxi drop-offs alongside its parking arrangements (thejockeyclub.co.uk). Show map of Queenswood ## Race Days, Festival Pressure and Roads Around the Site Cheltenham Festival creates the strongest parking pressure because on-site racegoers need a car or coach parking pass (thejockeyclub.co.uk). Park & Ride from Arle Court is promoted for festival travel, giving drivers an alternative to taking a car into the racecourse parking areas (thejockeyclub.co.uk). Approach arrangements vary by parking function. The Owners & Trainers Car Park uses Southam Lane or the Evesham approach, while accessible parking is directed to Blue 2 near the North Entrance (thejockeyclub.co.uk). These routes are intended for the relevant parking areas rather than as general invitations to stop on surrounding streets. The venue’s visitor information also covers coach drop-offs and taxi drop-offs, keeping those movements separate from ordinary car parking (thejockeyclub.co.uk). ## Parksy Spaces Within 1.4 Miles of Cheltenham Racecourse Parksy lists two driveway spaces in Prestbury and on New Barn Lane, each 0.4 miles from the site. The Prestbury space is available 24/7 at £18.75 a day, while the New Barn Lane space costs £26.25 a day. These are the closest priced Parksy choices listed for the racecourse. Further options include secure parking by Pittville Pump Room, 0.6 miles away at £20 an hour, and a space near Skin Clinic Cheltenham, 0.8 miles away at £4.20 a day. The Prince of Wales Stadium space is 1.3 miles away at £4.50 an hour, while parking at Big Sleep Cheltenham is 1.4 miles away at £4.80 a day. ## Cheltenham Racecourse Railway Station and Walking Access Cheltenham Racecourse railway station is the nearest rail stop, 0.5 miles from the site and an 11-minute walk (Parksy). The station serves the racecourse area rather than central Cheltenham, so drivers switching to rail should allow for the 11-minute walk from the platform to the venue. The Jockey Club also lists local bus services as part of its visitor travel information, alongside car parking, coach drop-offs and taxi drop-offs (thejockeyclub.co.uk).
