Car parks and cycle parking

Useful information for your visit and where to park your car or bike.

Driving

If you’re driving, the easiest and cheapest way to visit Winchester is to use one of our Park and Ride sites - there are five to choose from and buses run frequently into the centre of the city.

Alternatively, if you park at Barfield (East Winchester) Park and Ride, you can take the picturesque 11 minute walk alongside the River Itchen to the city centre.

Using one of the Park and Ride services also helps improve air quality in the city.

There are 2137 Park and Ride parking spaces now available.


Park and walk

Best for free evening and Sunday parking, or a quick visit into the city.

We also have lots of parking options just 5-10 minutes from the centre depending which route you choose.

These park and walk car parks all offer free one hour parking options for those occasions when you need to nip to the shops. Plus, they are free to park in the evening and on Sundays too.

These car parks are:

  • Chesil Street Multi Storey
  • River Park
  • Cattle Market
  • Worthy Lane
  • Durngate (operated by Hampshire County Council - free evenings only, charge applies Sunday)

Other car parks can be found on the map, or on the city centre zone one link below - but please note, these do not have the same free parking options that our other car parks do, as it is an air quality action zone.

If you are a blue badge holder, you can park for free in our city centre pay and display car parks at all times.


Got a bike?

We have recently installed cycle parking in our city centre - so you can choose a greener travel option if you prefer. Have a look at our map of locations where you can park your bike.
