Parking in Saltash is divided into two distinct zones: the “Town Centre” (Fore Street) and the “Waterside” (under the Royal Albert Bridge). If you park at the bottom to visit the shops, be prepared for a steep hike. The town centre car parks are generally better for access to banks, cafes, and the library.
Most car parks are managed by Cornwall Council and use the ‘JustPark’ app.
Our Top Picks
Save time by heading straight to the car park that matches your plans.
- Best for Town Centre (Long Stay): Alexandra Square. The largest car park in the town centre. It is located directly behind Fore Street and offers easy level access to the shops and the Guildhall.
- Best for Quick Shopping (Short Stay): Belle Vue Car Park. Perfect for quick errands. It is located just off the high street but can be tighter to navigate than Alexandra Square.
- Best for Views & The Bridge: Jubilee Green (Waterside). If you are here to see Brunel’s bridge or visit the Union Inn, park here. It is right on the riverbank at the bottom of the hill.
