    Free to park there, but it does obstruct traffic somewhat, as well as it being illegal to park on a footpath - not that the Gardai would bother doing anything about it. You could also park behind Great Island Motors at Prospect Villas. Alternatively, there is a huge car park at Whitepoint (sorta behind the Garda station), the end closest to Cobh station of which is free. It's about 3 mins walk from Cobh station. Where are you living? If Rushbrooke Links, there is a footpath down from the Links into the road behind Rushbrooke station.

    I'm up in Newtown so either the station or Rushbrooke is perfect for me. I need to keep my costs as low as possible, so finding free parking is a must at present while getting the car as close to the train as i can to shorten time and avoid getting drenched when the rain sets in.

    I thought they'd brought in pay parking for there now?

    Actually might have been getting confused. The end further away from town is definitely still free, albeit a bit of a hike from the station. I have it in my head that the top end of the car park (nearest the station) is also still free but it's possible I imagined that. Either way, an annual permit is only €30.

    Cheers Padraig. Rushbrooke seems to be an option but is it safe from getting a knock off a passing car. Mounting the curb is out, i know.

    Probably.........but you never know, it's tight-ish along there - although the road isn't especially busy.
