Parking in Cardiff

[Esinedee]

Help please. Going shopping to Cardiff on a weekday, where is the best place to park that doesn't cost a fortune? Plan to be there about 4-5 hours.

Many thanks

EVERYWHERE in Cardiff costs a fortune, Park and Ride is definately your cheapest option.

There's now a free buss service to get you from one side of the city centre to the other too, so don't forget that if your legs are getting weary late on. http://www.cardiff.gov.uk/content.asp?nav=2870%2C4048%2C4187%2C5825&parent_directory_id=2865

Which entrance to Cardiff are you coming in? (which side)

Me too please - Always used to use the old TOys R us car park, I'll be coming in Newport side and looking for House of FRaser and H&M - Have competition vouchers to spend.

Mamz, your best bet is the NEW park and ride (Pentwyn) off the A48.

£2.50 per car

Only thing with P&R is you have to lug your bags around all day, but I guess the toss up is £2.50 to do that or something like £10 for 4-5 hours.

thanks Dee,

lol Dom, I'm only looking at P&R as am taking dh with me to be my bag handler... I can't carry them so end up paying loads normally :)
