Parking at the UWTSD Carmarthen Campus
The UWTSD campus is on College Road in Johnstown, near Carmarthenshire. Parking on campus is free of charge for permit holders only, according to the university’s Carmarthen campus travel information (uwtsd.ac.uk). Students and staff therefore need the relevant permit before relying on the campus car park.
Visitors can park on campus, but must pay through one of the payment meters or PayByPhone (uwtsd.ac.uk). The university’s published Carmarthen parking information identifies those payment methods, while the Swansea campus page’s free-parking statement applies to a different site and is not a rate for College Road. For a visit, using the visitor payment arrangement is the campus-specific option.

Busy Periods on College Road
Campus parking is likely to be most useful to permit holders during teaching periods, when students and staff are travelling to College Road. Visitor demand also rises around university events and open days, when people unfamiliar with the campus are arriving at the same time. The university’s Carmarthen guidance confirms that visitors may use campus parking only through the payment meters or PayByPhone (uwtsd.ac.uk).
The practical distinction is between permit-only free parking for regular campus users and paid parking for visitors. Drivers heading to an open day or event should allow time for the visitor payment process rather than treating the permit-holder arrangement as free parking.
