Car parking /Park and Ride

Unfortunately, St Bede’s does not have car parking facilities. The nearest municipal car park is on Nunnery Lane. Directions from the train station as above but instead of turning right at the traffic lights go straight on. The car park is immediately on your left with the entrance further down the road. The charge for for 5 hours is currently £12 or for a full day £15.

An alternative would be to use the park and ride service.

Free parking is available at York Knavesmire on Knavesmire Road but it can get very busy if you don’t arrive early in the day. Walking from Knavesmire Road to St Bede’s can take 15 to 20 minutes.
