Carers tickets

In line with best practice in the visitor attractions industry, visitors with disabilities are treated on an equal basis with all other visitors and entry is charged at the appropriate admission category rate - Adult/Concession/Child. Proof of disability is not required.

We recognise that some disabled visitors may need help to visit our sites and we offer free entry for accompanying carers, these can be added when making your booking. Please note this is limited to two carers per transaction.

Parking

On-street parking is available nearby. Visitors can be dropped off in front of the war memorial at the top of North Street.

Bike parking

There are no bike racks at the monument. The nearest bike racks are located next to the University Library. There are some cycle lockers at the St Andrews Bus station

Approach to site

Entrance to the site is via the memorial gate. The memorial gate gives level access to a compacted gravel path which leads down the length of the site.

Dogs

Assistance dogs are permitted at all our sites and within roofed areas. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times and not left unattended at any time. Owners must pick up after their dogs.

Visitors' dogs are not permitted at St Andrews Cathedral.
