      Yes, plenty. Opposite, at Grey Friars, off the High Street, via Roman and Castle Roads with a pedestrian exit onto the High Street ans across to Lewis Gardens. Also, off Roman Road on the corner, although this is a small site. And a larger car park in Priory Street, off Queen Street. Drive right to the end and walk out onto East Hill, then up the hill to Lewis Gardens.
