parking in York
York is an amazing place to visit, but sometimes, like with many big cities, it can be tricky to find the right place to park. Whether you need to charge an EV, need to pre-book space for a meeting, or just want affordable pay and display parking we can help.
How’do York?
One of the UK’s most eclectic, beautiful, historic, and (if you believe in that sort of thing) haunted cities. York is a stunning place to visit with an incredible reputation as a hub for history.
With awe-inspiring architecture at the famous York Minster, to the magical winding streets of the Shambles which feel like stepping straight into the past, or a popular book about young wizards.
York is proud to wear its industrial heritage on its sleeve, with the National Railway Museum housing some of the best examples of British rail engineering.
If history isn’t your bag, the city is home to fantastic shops, amazing restaurants, and fabulous nightlife, making it perfect for a weekend away or a day trip.
Top 4 things to do in York
1. The Shambles – These old, cobbled streets are a famous landmark in Yorkshire and home to some of the quirkiest shops you’ll ever see. They’re fantastic to explore and feel like a real blast from the past.
2. Jorvik – Fascinated by Vikings? Well, you’re in the right place. Jorvik is a fantastic way to investigate the UK’s ancient past and see how people lived in ancient times. You can even buy a passport ticket that lets you look at archaeological digs and get a better look at York’s ancient city walls.
3. National Railway Museum – The UK is home to some of the world’s most famous trains, from the Flying Scotsman to the Mallard. The National Railway Museum is home to fantastic exhibits and is a great way to pass a few hours looking at how we used to get around.
4. Ghost Walks – York is known as one of the UK’s most haunted cities, with dozens of creepy tales and supposedly ghostly pubs. You can explore the city and learn more about some of its spookier residents with a Ghost Walk that takes you through the Shambles and beyond.
Parking in York
Like a lot of cities, there’s little to no on-street parking, with car parking spaces across the city centre being in high demand. There are plenty of places to park, but in such a busy city spaces fill up quickly and some parking areas can be on the expensive side.
Finding somewhere to park, and somewhere affordable are very different things, with city centre parking being notoriously pricey across the UK, not just in York. Luckily, we can help.
