Drivers heading for the university campus therefore need to arrange parking away from the platform rather than expecting a station car park. The campus sits on Senghennydd Road, with Cathays railway station next to Cardiff University Students’ Union (wikipedia.org). ## Term-Time Pressure Around Cathays and Senghennydd Road Parking pressure is likely to be greatest when university activity is high, particularly during term time, student events and open days. The campus setting beside Cardiff University Students’ Union makes those periods especially relevant for visitors travelling by car (wikipedia.org). Street parking around Cathays also needs care. Cathays & Central Youth & Community Project records two-hour parking outside the community centre on Cathays Terrace and a 15-minute drop-off point at the front of the centre (cathays.org.uk). Those arrangements are specific to the community-centre frontage, so they should not be treated as all-day campus parking. Show map of Cathays ## Parksy Spaces Within Walking Distance of Cathays Railway Station Students and staff wanting a short walk can choose a driveway space on Richmond Road in CF24, 0.3 miles away, at £6.50 an hour, or parking near Hilton Cardiff in CF10 3ND, also 0.3 miles away, at £4.80 a day. The daily option is particularly suited to a full day on campus, while the hourly Richmond Road space fits a shorter visit. Further choices include parking at Crwys Road in CF24, 0.4 miles away, at £4.50 an hour, and a secure Cardiff CF24 space 0.4 miles away at £30 a day. Two 0.5-mile options provide secure 24/7 parking: a city-centre space at £4.50 an hour and a central Cardiff garage at £25 a day. Hourly spaces suit appointments or brief visits; daily spaces are more practical for staff shifts, lectures or open-day attendance. ## Other Cardiff Car Parks for a Cathays Visit The Cardiff University campus car park is not the only potential base for a journey into Cathays, but the named nearby alternatives need to be selected with the destination in mind. The Parksy spaces near Hilton Cardiff, Richmond Road, Crwys Road and central Cardiff provide bookable alternatives at distances of 0.3 to 0.5 miles, with hourly and daily choices for different visit lengths. For a very short stop, the community-centre frontage on Cathays Terrace has a 15-minute drop-off point, while two-hour parking is available outside Cathays & Central Youth & Community Project (cathays.org.uk). ## Walking From Cardiff Queen Street and Cardiff Central to Cathays Cardiff Queen Street railway station is the nearest named station, at 0.6 miles from Cathays railway station and a 13-minute walk. Cardiff Central railway station is another option, at approximately a 19-minute walk. Cathays railway station itself has no car parking, although National Rail lists drop-off and pick-up points and cycling facilities (nationalrail.co.uk). Rail users can therefore approach the campus without relying on a station parking space.
