St Ives car parks

St Ives is a beautiful old place with narrow winding lanes and quaint old cottages. The town's layout has remained unchanged for hundreds of years and this is one of the main aspects behind its enduring appeal. However, the narrow streets have meant that it's not always possible for residents and holidaymakers to park outside their houses and holiday lets; this is due to the narrow width of the streets and the lower number of houses with driveways. We have compiled a guide to St Ives' car parks to help you decide where the nearest and best value one is located during your stay in town. Some of our St Ives self-catering holiday rentals offer a parking pass, so it's worth keeping an eye out for these properties when booking your break.

St Ives has a number of local council-run car parks, and you can even rent secure stockaded parking too. There are also money-saving tickets that are valid at certain car parks around St Ives too. Once your car is parked, you may wish to check out our St Ives guide to some great things to see and do.
