Parking in Wadebridge is plentiful but can be confusing due to the mix of Council, Town Council, and private operators. The golden rule here is to check the signs: “Piggy Lane” is best for all-day Camel Trail trips, while “Goldsworthy Way” is better for quick shopping trips.
Most car parks are located off Goldsworthy Way (the bypass road), making them very easy to access without driving through the town centre.
Our Top Picks
Save time by heading straight to the car park that matches your plans.
- Best for The Camel Trail (Long Stay): Piggy Lane Car Park. The go-to spot for cyclists. It is a large long-stay car park located just behind the town centre. It offers easy access to the bike hire shops and the trail start point.
- Best for Shopping (Short Stay): Goldsworthy Way Car Park. Located next to the Library and Co-op. It is perfect for popping into town, but check the time limits as it is primarily a short-stay facility.
- Best for River Views: Commissioners Quay. Managed by the Padstow Harbour Commissioners. It sits right on the riverbank. It is scenic but can be more expensive than the Council options.
Camel Trail & Long Stay
If you are cycling to Padstow (approx. 1 hour each way), you need a car park that allows 4+ hours or all-day parking.

The Old Cattle Market
