  • Parking on St Agnes Road, CF14

    Quick and easy walking distance to UHW. I have a ford ka that fits anywhere so it was perfect. Big cars might struggle

  • Parking on St Agnes Road, CF14

    It is a small space but a Vauxhall Astra sized vehicle will get in exactly without having to move the wing mirrors. Perfect parking spot for the hospital, less than 10 mins walk to main UHW reception. ( There's a side alley on the left on the deadend and then a right turn a few yards down it, go through the gate in the railings and you're by the dental building) No more worries about finding a space in the hospital or overstaying a timed ticket. It's also seems good for the town centre as there are bus routes reasonably close.

    Easy parking. No hassle or registering on site. Just drive in and drive out. As it’s a price per day you can stretch the parking time to cover early arrival or a delayed departure from planned times at no extra cost. Will be back in two week for next game

    Absolutely do this! The space was a bit far from my uni accommodation but it was the safest and cheapest one. I never had any issues with coming and going the whole time I parked there and you can park anywhere so no restrictions within the tesco area
