Parking

We have two disabled parking bays on Castle Chain, at the front of the castle. Please use WF8 1QH in your sat nav to reach these. Our car drop-off point is in the same place as the disabled parking bays. This will give you easy, level access to the castle entrance. Our coach drop-off point is located opposite the main car park. Use WF8 2JF in your sat nav for the coach drop-off point. There is now also a coach space on North Baileygate. It is between the castle car park and All Saints church. Please note this section is one way, with access from Southgate only. Our main car park is at WF8 2JF. The path leading from here to the castle site is step-free, but it is cobbled and uneven in places. It is 122m from the main car park to the site with a 1 in 13 gradient.
