Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking Beside Fanning's Castle on Mary Street The site is a small historic tower at 1 Mary Street in John's C, near Limerick City, rather than an attraction with its own visitor car park. The building stands on private ground and is inaccessible, but it can be viewed through the large front gates (limerick.ie). Drivers should therefore plan for nearby street parking instead of expecting an official attraction car park. Free on-street parking is available on Mary Street and Creagh Lane (trips.ie). Fanning's is off both streets, opposite the tholsel, on King's Island (wikipedia.org). The site is freely accessible and open at all times (trips.ie), so parking can be arranged around a short viewing stop rather than a timed admission visit. ## Peak Pressure and Street Parking Around Fanning's Mary Street and Creagh Lane are the most direct places to look when arriving by car, but free spaces fill quickly at peak hours (trips.ie). That makes early arrival more practical for drivers who want to stop close to the gates, particularly when the surrounding streets are active. Fanning's is viewed from the street because the building itself is on private ground and inaccessible (limerick.ie). Parking on Mary Street or Creagh Lane should therefore be treated as a brief access point for the public-facing view, with the vehicle left only in a marked and legally permitted space. The available local guidance identifies these streets as free on-street parking locations (trips.ie). Show map of Limerick City ## Other Parking Choices Near the Site For a space away from the immediate Mary Street and Creagh Lane frontage, a Parksy parking lot in Limerick is 500 m from Fanning's and costs €7.50 a day. This is a useful option when the nearby free street spaces have filled, while keeping the visit within walking distance of the gates. It is considerably farther from the tower than the Limerick lot, so it suits drivers who are already travelling through that part of the city rather than visitors seeking the shortest walk. Free on-street parking is also available on Mary Street and Creagh Lane (trips.ie). ## Parksy Spaces for Visiting Fanning's Castle The closest priced Parksy space is a parking lot in Limerick, 500 m from Fanning's, at €7.50 a day. It offers a straightforward alternative to searching the immediate streets and leaves the final approach to the tower on foot. Parksy also lists parking at St Nessans Road, Limerick, 3.8 km away, at €2.20 an hour. The larger distance makes this better suited to a driver combining the visit with other business in the area, rather than making a dedicated short stop at the historic tower. ## Walking to Fanning's From Limerick Railway Station Limerick railway station is the nearest station, 1.0 km from Fanning's, with a 13-minute walk to the site. The station provides a practical rail-and-walking alternative for visitors who want to avoid searching for a space on Mary Street or Creagh Lane. The attraction is 290 m from Limerick City centre, placing it within an easy central-city walk after arriving by rail or parking farther away. The tower is off Creagh Lane and Mary Street, opposite the tholsel, on King's Island (wikipedia.org).
