The site provides 295 spaces, including 13 disabled spaces and four electric vehicle spaces (Google knowledge panel). Free car parking is available at this site (historicdockyard.co.uk), making it the most direct choice for a visit to the museum. Access from the M27 is via junction 12 onto the M275, followed by the “Historic Waterfront” motorway signs and “Historic Dockyard” signs in Portsmouth (maryrose.org). The car park closes at 4.45pm, and cars left after that time risk being locked in (historicdockyard.co.uk). Disabled spaces are also available at Wickham Street car park, Harbour car park and Gunwharf Quays (maryrose.org). ## Parksy Parking Spaces Close to Mary Rose Parksy lists a driveway space at Wickham Street Car Park, 106 yd away, priced at £1 an hour. A secure commercial garage space in Portsmouth is 115 yd away and is also priced at £1 an hour, putting both options within a short walk of the waterfront. For longer stays, an underground parking space in Portsmouth, PO1 3TZ, is 0.3 mi away and costs £28 a day. A monthly space in Gunwharf Quays is 0.3 mi away at £32 a month. A Britain Street parking space is 0.3 mi away and costs £1 an hour, while a 24/7 space near Portsmouth Cathedral is 0.5 mi away at £6 a day. Show map of Portsmouth ## Wickham Street, Harbour and Gunwharf Quays Parking Wickham Street car park, PO1 3EF, is a named alternative for disabled parking near the site (maryrose.org). The Harbour car park, PO1 3EQ, has no height restriction and also provides disabled parking (maryrose.org). These two locations are useful reference points when vehicle height or accessible parking affects the choice of car park. Gunwharf Quays is another named option with disabled parking (maryrose.org), and its retail setting can suit visitors combining the historic waterfront with shopping. The Historic Dockyard car park is the official free option described for the attraction, while the nearby council and commercial choices provide alternatives around the waterfront. ## Busy Waterfront Parking and Closing Rules Parking around Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is likely to feel busiest when visitors combine the museum with the wider waterfront attractions and Gunwharf Quays. The official car park’s 4.45pm closing time is especially important for late visits, because cars left after that time risk being locked in (historicdockyard.co.uk). Drivers approaching from the motorway should follow the “Historic Waterfront” signs and then the “Historic Dockyard” signs in Portsmouth (maryrose.org). The named surrounding options include Wickham Street car park, the Harbour car park and Gunwharf Quays, with disabled spaces identified at each location (maryrose.org). ## Walking From Portsmouth Harbour and Portsmouth and Southsea Stations Portsmouth Harbour railway station is the nearest rail stop, 316 yd from the museum and a 4 min walk. Its position by the waterfront makes rail travel a practical alternative when the official car park is busy or a visit is planned around the station area. Portsmouth and Southsea railway station is another option, around a 14 min walk from the site. The two stations give visitors a choice between arriving beside the harbour or walking from the city-centre station, while the nearby Parksy spaces cover short and longer-stay parking requirements.
