Parking at Roman Circus Visitor Centre on Le Cateau Road
Limited visitor parking is available at Roman Circus Visitor Centre, with disabled parking provided on site (heritageopendays.org.uk). The centre is at 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 Le Cateau Road, Colchester, CO2 7TD, so the on-site spaces are the most direct choice for visitors who need step-free access.
Access by car involves continuing past the Butt Road car park and following along to the centre (catuk.org). The operator describes the visitor parking as limited, while the official visitor information describes the on-site visitor spaces as free (heritageopendays.org.uk). Drivers should therefore treat the site as a small visitor facility rather than a large public car park.

Butt Road and Napier Road Car Parks for Visitors
Butt Road and Napier Road are the two named public car parks near Roman Circus Visitor Centre (visitcolchester.com). Both are identified as nearby alternatives to the limited parking at the centre, so they are the principal public-car-park choices for drivers arriving when on-site spaces are unavailable.
The centre’s access guidance tells motorists to continue past the Butt Road car park before following the road to the venue (catuk.org).
Free visitor parking is available at the centre, including disabled parking (heritageopendays.org.uk). The public alternatives are named as Butt Road and Napier Road rather than as on-site visitor spaces, so drivers should distinguish the centre’s free provision from those nearby car parks.
Busy Summer Visits and Driving Around Le Cateau Road
Parking pressure is greatest when the limited visitor provision is being used by other visitors, particularly during the summer season, which runs from April (visitcolchester.com). The small number of spaces makes Butt Road and Napier Road practical fallback destinations for busier opening periods.
Drivers approaching the venue should continue past Butt Road car park and follow along to the centre (catuk.org). The destination is on Le Cateau Road, and the site information specifically directs car access beyond the Butt Road approach rather than treating the car park entrance as the venue entrance.
Disabled parking is available at the centre (heritageopendays.org.uk). The published visitor information identifies limited on-site parking, nearby public car parks and the approach past Butt Road, but does not set out additional surrounding-street parking rules.
