Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking at the Former Museum Site on Station Approach The British Empire and Commonwealth Museum was at Station Approach in Redcliffe, near Windmill Hill. A BBC Bristol guide records free car parking at the rear of the museum, available on a first-come-first-served basis at weekends only (bbc.co.uk). The rear parking is the closest option described for the site, but the source gives no published tariff, capacity or opening hours beyond the weekend restriction. Drivers approaching from the surrounding roads should use Station Approach as the address for the former museum location rather than Windmill Hill as the street address. ## Parksy Parking Spaces Close to Station Approach Parksy lists secure 24/7 covered parking at the Holiday Inn Express, 70 yd from the site, at £10 a day. This is the closest priced option in the local selection and suits drivers who want covered parking within a short walk of the former museum location. Several spaces are listed 115 yd away. A driveway space on Bates Close in Bristol BS5 costs £5.94 an hour, while spaces near Tyndalls Park and near the Sexual Health Clinic in Bristol each cost £3 an hour. The 115 yd distance places these options within the same immediate parking area around the site. Show map of Windmill Hill ## Other Parking Around Redcliffe and Bristol Temple Meads The BBC Bristol guide advises visitors to use public car parks and separately records free rear parking at weekends on a first-come-first-served basis (bbc.co.uk). The weekend arrangement is the only free option identified for the former museum itself. Other named Parksy choices 115 yd from Station Approach include Gas Ferry Road, described as a Bristol car park, at £4 a day, and parking near Lawrence Hill Health Centre at £4 a day. These two daily-priced spaces provide alternatives to the hourly listings when the vehicle will remain parked for much of the day. ## Weekend Demand and Driving Around Station Approach Weekend parking pressure is particularly relevant because the free rear parking is first come, first served and limited to weekends (bbc.co.uk). The site address is Station Approach, in Redcliffe near Windmill Hill. The BBC Bristol guidance directs drivers towards public car parks as an alternative (bbc.co.uk). Parking decisions therefore depend on whether the rear spaces are available or whether a nearby public or booked space is more suitable for the visit. ## Walking From Bristol Temple Meads Railway Station Bristol Temple Meads railway station is the nearest station to the site. The station is 266 yd away, with a four-minute walk to the former museum location. Rail travel avoids the search for a space around Station Approach and places visitors within a short walk of the Redcliffe site.
