A decent car park in relatively good location. Easy enough to get to and a short walk to the cathedral. Just be wary of the payment machines as the flat fee for parking only starts at 6:00pm, if you arrive a bit before you'll be faced with paying for a full hour plus the evening fee.
Came to York for a few hours. We tried to park as close to the action as possible. This carpark is only steps away from all the shops, restaurants and sights. The historic Center of York is easily walkable. But as a major town, York is popular and the fees for parking on the higher side. As one would expect. We checked online before and weren't surprised when we arrived. We wanted a prime parking location - and we were ready to pay prime fees. For a few hours you get close to 20£. All-day parking sets you back 22.50£ (summer 2025). Which I thought is still ok. In my country you'll pay more. Of course, compared to some other towns (e.g. Oxford) the prices are definitely higher here. But for the whole experience: Shopping, some nice food and great sights it was a fair deal. The car is safe here, the spaces pretty big, no problems for larger vehicles. You pay by app, credit card or even coins (not on all machines though, but there are several). Surely would park here again.
Prices have gone up considerably so it’s now quite expensive. Still in a good location though…
We had a great experience parking at this car park. We were able to book and extend online. Our car was safe here for our entire 4-day visit. Easy walk to the city centre. I highly recommend.
[April 2023] One of the most convenient car parks. Across the road from city walls. Clear marking on asphalted surface. Feel safe leaving the car overnight
