The museum address is 12-14 Llanthony Road, Gloucester, GL1 2EH, making the dock car parks the practical first choice for a visit by car. Blue Badge spaces are available in the pay-and-display car parks close to the museum, while limited Blue Badge parking is also located at the top of the site (canalrivertrust.org.uk). Orchard Square outside the museum has Blue Badge parking for visitors (greatwestway.co.uk). Park and ride operates Monday to Saturday for the museum area (canalrivertrust.org.uk). The attraction is in the Gloucester Docks setting, so parking beside the docks avoids adding a longer city-centre walk to a museum visit. ## Busy Gloucester Docks Periods and Nearby Street Controls Gloucester Docks combines the museum with Gloucester Quays and the wider dockside visitor area, so pay-and-display spaces can be under pressure when several destinations are busy. Drivers using the surrounding streets should distinguish signed pay-and-display bays from Blue Badge provision. The Canal & River Trust identifies Blue Badge spaces in the nearby car parks and limited Blue Badge parking at the top of the site (canalrivertrust.org.uk). Orchard Square also has Blue Badge parking outside the museum (greatwestway.co.uk). Southgate Street and Gloucester Quays are named parking locations for the attraction, while NSGL Parking is identified at the museum by the Canal & River Trust (visitcheltenham.com; canalrivertrust.org.uk). Show map of Gloucester ## Parksy Spaces Close to Gloucester Waterways Museum Parksy lists an affordable [monthly parking](https://www.parksy.com/blog/find-monthly-parking-near-me-practical-guide) space at Gloucester Docks, a few steps away at 28 yd, priced at £41 a month. A secure covered space at Barge Arm East is 105 yd away and costs £75 a week, while a secure garage space in Gloucester is 106 yd away for £75 a month. These dockside listings are close enough for drivers who want to leave the car near the museum rather than use a larger city-centre car park. For day visits, Parksy also lists a North Warehouse Car Park space 329 yd away at £8 a day. Castlemeads Car Park has a listed space 0.2 mi away priced at £1.30 an hour, giving visitors an hourly option away from the tightest dockside parking. ## Other Named Car Parks for Gloucester Waterways Museum Visitors Castlemeads Car Park is a named council option for visitors to Gloucester Quays, Gloucester Waterways Museum and Gloucester Docks (gloucester.gov.uk). The council states that this car park is locked between 7pm and 7am (gloucester.gov.uk), which matters for evening events or a late return to the vehicle. Westgate Street Car Park is another named city-centre option. Visit Gloucester lists it for group travel parking (visitgloucester.co.uk), making it a useful alternative when the dockside car parks are busy or when a city-centre approach suits the journey better. Southgate Street and Gloucester Quays also provide pay-and-display parking close to the museum, with the attraction between the car parks (visitcheltenham.com). The Canal & River Trust lists park and ride for Monday to Saturday (canalrivertrust.org.uk), providing a named alternative to driving into the dockside streets. ## Walking From Gloucester and Gloucester Eastgate Stations Gloucester railway station is the nearest station, 0.6 mi from Gloucester Waterways Museum and a 13-minute walk. The route brings rail travellers into central Gloucester before continuing towards the docks, avoiding the need to find a space beside the attraction. Gloucester Eastgate railway station is another rail option, around a 14-minute walk from the site. The two stations make the museum reachable without a car for visitors arriving by train, while the dockside location keeps the final walk within the city centre. Drivers combining parking with a train journey can use the station access as a way to avoid moving the car during a busy Gloucester Docks visit. The nearest station remains Gloucester railway station, at 0.6 mi and 13 minutes on foot.
