Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking at Cardiff Castle There is no on-site parking at Cardiff Castle, so drivers need to use a nearby city-centre car park (cardiffcastle.com). The castle’s directions specifically recommend Westgate Street and Greyfriars car parks as convenient options (cardiffcastle.com). [NCP](https://www.parksy.com/blog/national-car-parks-ncp-united-kingdom-parking-review) says its car parks are very close to the attraction and provide 244 spaces in total (ncp.co.uk). This gives visitors a practical alternative to searching for a space on Kingsway, the address for the site. Cardiff Castle sits in the city centre, where a pre-booked or clearly identified car park can be more useful than relying on roadside availability. ## Busy Cardiff City-Centre Periods and Nearby Street Rules Cardiff Castle is surrounded by city streets, shops, cafés and green parkland, so traffic can build around the central area when visitors arrive at the same time. The attraction’s directions place Westgate Street and Greyfriars car parks among the nearby choices (cardiffcastle.com), making those named facilities more suitable than stopping at the castle frontage. Castle Mews Car Park publishes an evening tariff covering 6pm to 12am at £3 (visitcardiff.com). Its daytime charges are £3.50 for 1 hour, £4.50 for 2 hours, £5.50 for 3 hours and £6.50 for 4 hours (visitcardiff.com). Those published tariffs are for the named car park rather than surrounding streets, where drivers should use only marked and permitted spaces. Show map of Cardiff ## Westgate Street, Greyfriars and Castle Mews Parking Westgate Street Car Park and Greyfriars Car Park are the two facilities specifically identified in the castle’s visitor directions (cardiffcastle.com). Both are close to the attraction and avoid the need to look for a space directly outside the site. Castle Mews Car Park is another named Cardiff city-centre option. Visit Cardiff lists £3.50 for 1 hour, £4.50 for 2 hours, £5.50 for 3 hours and £6.50 for 4 hours, with an evening charge of £3 from 6pm to 12am (visitcardiff.com). Drivers planning a short visit can match the tariff to the intended stay before walking to the castle. ## Parksy Spaces Close to Cardiff Castle Parksy lists a secure space in CF10 2AF, 171 yards away, at £87 a month. A driveway space in Cardiff CF14 is also listed 171 yards away for £1 a day, while a space at The Harvey Jones Unit in Whitchurch is 171 yards away for £3.40 a day. Other priced listings include a space at Rocco Forte St Davids in Cardiff, 171 yards away, for £5.20 a day; a space at Mercure Holland House Cardiff, 171 yards away, for £5.40 an hour; and a space near Lansdowne Surgery in Cardiff, 171 yards away, for £4.20 an hour. The monthly, daily and hourly choices suit different visit lengths, from a short stop to regular city-centre parking. ## Walking From Cardiff Central and Cardiff Queen Street Cardiff Central railway station is the nearest station, at 0.5 miles from Cardiff Castle and a 10-minute walk. The route brings visitors into the central area around Kingsway, so rail travel can remove the need to find a city-centre parking space before entering the attraction. Cardiff Queen Street railway station is also nearby, at approximately a 9-minute walk from the site. Visitors arriving by train can therefore choose between the two central stations according to their service, then continue on foot to the castle.
