There's only one route.
And you can get close as fuck.

Up through the market place.
Having thought about it though, think you need a permit to get up there most of the time.

There is two pound permit needed for some areas and a fifty pound fine if you're caught without one.

Fair play.
Park near Dunelm House and walk over the footbridge.

I reluctantly took the wife and her mam a couple of years ago but enjoyed it once there.
Botanic Gardens will get you to New Elvet footbridge then cross river
Are you going to the carol service there tomorrow ?

No an elderly relative is and was asking if he could get close to the cathedral in his car. I told him he couldn't really.

Don't need to risk it, he can just pay it over the phone...

Or get the bus from the Sands of course.
If he risks it though he still can't park on Palace Green.

It has to be arranged in advance. You need to ring the Cathedral and organise parking with them. The parking is round the back of the Cathedral, so you need to head down the North Bailey but I'm not sure exactly where it is.
The Palace Green belongs to the University. You'll get wrong off the warden if you try and park there - as my Mam did
If he has a blue badge, he doesn't have to pay the £2 charge.
The shuttle bus from the car park is probably easiest if he can manage getting on the bus.

i'm not particularly religious or anything like that but i often just go and sit and enjoy it. it has a wonderful and calm ambience about it.
Ring a couple of local taxi firms to see if they can assist? Park nearby and taxi in/ out.

It’s “the finest example of Romanesque architecture in the world” said my lecturer when I was away at university. Made me very proud it did.
