Residents Parking

Right, so Residents Parking in Salisbury isn't what you'd call a traditional tourist draw. It's exactly what the sign says - a car park for local permit holders near the town centre. If you're staying at Stonehenge Campsite & Glamping just outside the city, you'll drive past it on your way into Salisbury proper, but you won't be parking here unless you've got a residential permit. For visitors, the proper car parks are dotted around the medieval town centre itself, and they're far more convenient anyway. The reason I'm mentioning it at all is because it sits in the heart of Salisbury's working streets, and if you're navigating the town on foot - which you should, given how walkable it is - you'll notice how tightly integrated parking is with the everyday rhythm of the place. It tells you something about how real Salisbury functions when tourists aren't looking. The cathedral and market square are the real reasons to come here, not the parking infrastructure. But understanding where locals actually park gives you a sense of the town's geography and how to move around it sensibly. Skip this as an attraction in its own right, but acknowledge it as part of getting oriented.
