T. R. Chou ## Hospital Parking on Cowbridge Road East The patient and visitor car parks at Saint David's Hospital allow two hours of [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me), operated by Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. Drivers must enter their vehicle registration at a touchscreen on arrival or before departure, and parking is subject to enforcement (cavuhb.nhs.wales; traveline.cymru). The hospital is at 48-50 Cowbridge Road East in Canton, near Riverside. The published hospital information identifies the two-hour free period and registration requirement, so this arrangement suits short appointments, collections and visits that stay within the permitted time. ## Parksy Spaces Close to Saint David's Hospital Parksy lists three priced spaces 133 yd away: a parking space near ML Lodge at £6.60 an hour, parking at the Royal Hotel Cardiff at £6.60 a day, and a space on Clos Dewi Sant at £2 an hour. Further options include a 24/7 space in Leckwith, 0.3 mi away, at £4 an hour; parking at Lincoln House Hotel, 0.4 mi away, at £6 a day; and 24/7 parking at Holiday Inn Cardiff City Centre, 0.4 mi away, at £4.50 an hour. The daily-priced spaces are more suitable for long appointments, while the 24/7 listings can help shift workers travelling outside standard daytime hours. Show map of Riverside ## Canton Streets and Residential Parking Near the Hospital The hospital sits on Cowbridge Road East in Canton, close to Riverside, where kerb space is shared by residents, visitors and through traffic. A driver unfamiliar with the area should treat marked restrictions, permit controls and waiting restrictions as decisive, rather than assuming that a space beside a house is available for hospital parking. The hospital's patient and visitor parking is subject to enforcement, and the vehicle registration must be entered at a touchscreen to obtain the two-hour free period (cavuhb.nhs.wales; traveline.cymru). ## Arriving for Appointments and Emergency Care For a planned appointment, the hospital's two-hour free arrangement requires vehicle registration at a touchscreen on arrival or before departure (cavuhb.nhs.wales). This is particularly useful for short visits, but a longer consultation can make a nearby paid space more practical than relying on the free period. Parking at the hospital is subject to enforcement (traveline.cymru). Drivers taking someone to care should allow time for registration and walking from the chosen bay, while keeping the approach clear for other patients and vehicles. The published hospital information supports using the patient and visitor car parks for hospital visits; it does not provide a separate emergency-department parking instruction. ## Walking and Public Transport to the Hospital Cardiff Central railway station is the nearest station, 0.8 mi from the hospital and a 16 min walk. The route brings rail passengers from the city centre towards the hospital's address on Cowbridge Road East, making the station a practical alternative when a car visit would be short or parking demand is high. Travel information for St David's Hospital confirms that the site has a two-hour free parking arrangement when the vehicle registration is entered at a terminal (traveline.cymru).
