Parking is available in a private garage with space for 2 vehicles. The garage is located near to the entrance of the tower behind two large grey double doors. The parking and the Tower can be accessed by going down a small cobbled lane which will be signposted City Cruises York or Star Inn the City and will be immediately on your left if you are coming over the bridge or on your right just after costa coffee if you are coming from Museum Street.   The garage entrance is 2530mm in width and 2300mm in height. Internally the garage opens up under the bridge and is able to comfortably accommodate two large vehicles.   The garage is locked by a combination lock and the code will be provided prior to your arrival.

If arriving late, the floodlight in the garage is on a sensor so will come on as you enter.
