Parking in Redruth is easier than in many Cornish towns. The town centre is served by several large car parks that are rarely full, even in summer. The main strategy here is to choose your car park based on which end of Fore Street (the main high street) you need to visit.
For the cinema and the bottom of town, New Cut is ideal. For the top of town and the Mining Exchange, Flowerpot Chapel is your best bet.
Our Top Picks
Save time by heading straight to the car park that matches your plans.
- Best for High Street & Shopping: Flowerpot Chapel Car Park. The main long-stay car park at the top of the town. It offers easy access to the pedestrianised high street and the cafes.
- Best for Cinema & Kresen Kernow: New Cut Car Park. Large, convenient, and located right next to the Regal Cinema. It is a short walk from here to the new Kresen Kernow archive centre.
- Best for Commuting: Redruth Station Car Park. Located directly at the station for train users, though the nearby Fairmeadow car park is a good Council-run alternative.
