For Bishop's Palace in John's B, near Limerick City, the practical starting point is the official position: the site does not have a car park (bishopspalace.org.uk).

The operator says Blue Badge parking spaces can be reserved by calling the office on 01749 988111 ext 200 (bishopspalace.org.uk). This is the only specific parking arrangement published for the site itself, making advance contact particularly relevant for accessible visits.
