It is a pay-and-display car park, and the Stroud Canals trail information identifies it as being at the trailhead (AllTrails). This makes Cheapside a straightforward choice for drivers heading to the canal from the Castle Rise area. The canal is a long Gloucestershire route rather than a single enclosed attraction, so access points differ along its length. The address used for this guide is Castle Rise, Stroud, GL5 2AW, while the local parking guidance also identifies Stroud railway station as a starting point for reaching the canal on foot (cotswoldcanals.net). Drivers planning a walk should choose the access point that matches their intended stretch rather than treating the whole waterway as one car-park destination. ## Cheapside and Other Named Parking Choices Around Stroud Stroud railway station is another named parking option for reaching the canal, and the local canal guide lists it alongside Cheapside Car Park (cotswoldcanals.net). The Stroud Canals trail information also directs visitors to the station as an alternative to driving directly to the trailhead (AllTrails). It can suit visitors who want to combine a canal walk with a town-centre arrival. For a more rural approach, Daneway has a few unofficial parking places near the canal (cotswoldcanals.net). These spaces are not presented as a formal car park, so they are better suited to visitors already planning to use that particular section of the route. The canal also extends towards Lechlade, where the parish council provides a village map showing key sites, car parks and toilets (lechladeonthames-tc.gov.uk). Riverside Park in Lechlade has ample car parking and is about 800 metres from the canal at that point (cotswoldcanals.net). Show map of Stroud ## Parksy Spaces Close to the Stroud Canal Access Parksy lists a priced space at Stroud General Hospital, 0.3 miles from the site, at £4.50 a day. A second Stroud option is a priced space 0.4 miles away at £28 a month. These are the closest priced listings in the nearby selection and may work for drivers who prefer a bookable space to a public car park. Other priced listings include a 24/7 space at Clare Court in Cheltenham, 0.5 miles away, at £4.44 an hour, plus a driveway space in Stroud, Gloucestershire, 1.1 miles away, at £12 a day. Further choices are a 24/7 parking lot in Stonehouse, 2.8 miles away, at £2.50 a day, and a space at Cotswold & Vale NHS in Stonehouse, 2.9 miles away, at £4.50 a day. ## Busy Times and Street Parking Around Castle Rise Weekend walks can also draw drivers towards the rural parking places at Daneway, where only a few unofficial spaces are identified (cotswoldcanals.net). Castle Rise is the listed address for the Stroud access used in this guide. The local canal information identifies Cheapside Car Park and Stroud railway station rather than surrounding residential streets as the recommended parking choices (cotswoldcanals.net). Drivers should therefore use the named car parks or a booked space instead of treating nearby street parking as an alternative to the designated options. ## Stroud Wallgate Station and Walking to the Canal Stroud Wallgate railway station is the nearest station to the Castle Rise address, at 0.3 miles away and a seven-minute walk. This provides a compact rail-and-walking option for visitors who would rather avoid finding a space near the canal. Stroud railway station is also named as a canal access point in local walking guidance, alongside Cheapside Car Park (cotswoldcanals.net). The station can therefore be useful for a town-based visit, while Cheapside offers the other named starting point for the Stroud Canals trail (AllTrails). Kemble railway station is another approach used for the canal, with the canal basin one kilometre from the station via the High Street (richardgower.com).
