Parking at Edgar Tower in Worcester
Edgar Tower stands at 5 College Green, Worcester, WR1 2LL, near Red Hill. The attraction itself has no car park, according to Worcester Cathedral, whose grounds include the tower (worcestercathedral.org.uk). Drivers should therefore plan for a nearby city car park rather than expecting parking at the entrance.
Worcester Cathedral recommends parking opposite the cathedral, although the published guidance does not give a tariff, capacity or opening hours for that recommendation (worcestercathedral.org.uk). The site is in central Worcester, so an off-site space is the practical arrangement for reaching College Green.
