About Clifford Street Car Park

Clifford Street Car Park sits in Carlisle town centre, offering parking for visitors to nearby shops and local amenities. It has an estimated 28 parking spaces (estimated from the site’s footprint) — not a lot, so timing your visit well is important. It’s an open-air surface car park, generally easy to navigate with good visibility of available bays. It is operated by Carlisle City Council.

When to Visit

Saturday is typically the peak day for town centre parking, with demand building from mid-morning through to late afternoon. Weekday visits before 10am are your best bet for finding a space easily, and Sundays are usually the quietest day of the week. With only 28 spaces, timing is everything — arriving during a quieter window makes a big difference here.
