Where should you park when visiting St Columb’s Cathedral?

Bishop Street car park is one of the most practical choices for St Columb’s Cathedral because it puts you on the same side of the walled city as the cathedral and Bishop’s Gate.

The practical answer

For **St Columb's Cathedral**, use **Bishop Street car park** if space is available. It is on the correct side of the historic centre for the cathedral, Bishop's Gate and the southern section of the City Walls.

That makes it more practical than parking at Quayside or Ebrington if the cathedral is your main stop.

After the cathedral, you can continue on foot to the Diamond, the Walls and the Guildhall without moving the car. Derry's historic core is compact and the walking route between these sights is part of the visit.

Bishop Street is a council-operated car park, so check the council's current tariff and charging hours before travelling rather than relying on an old tourism blog.
