The museum’s directions recommend Priory Street and Britannia car parks, both described as just a few minutes from the castle and Hollytrees Museum (colchester.cimuseums.org.uk). There are 11 spaces for disabled badge holders just outside the park gates on Museum Street, according to Colchester Museums (colchester.cimuseums.org.uk). Blue Badge holders can park free for up to three hours in Colchester City Council car parks (visitcolchester.com), making those council facilities the most useful official choice for eligible visitors who need close access. ## Busy Times Around Museum Street and Castle Park The main entrance to Castle Park is at the east end of Colchester High Street next to the castle (colchester.gov.uk). Blue Badge holders can also park free for up to three hours in Colchester City Council car parks (visitcolchester.com). The 11 disabled-badge spaces outside the park gates are on Museum Street (colchester.cimuseums.org.uk), while the council car parks provide the broader official alternative for eligible drivers. Use the signed car-park entrances rather than treating the park gates as general parking access.
