The Former Station Site Off Hellesdon Road
Hellesdon railway station is a former railway station in Norfolk, rather than a current rail stop with a staffed station car park (Wikipedia). The former site is just off Hellesdon Road, with access described as coming through a large car park and along a long entrance driveway (themilecrossman.com).
The station address is 10 Leas Court, Norwich, NR6 5ES. The old station yard can also be reached by the one-time road to the station yard or by following a Marriott’s Way fingerpost to Hellesdon Platform (disused-stations.org.uk).
Planning a Weekday Journey From the Norwich Area
There is no current rail timetable or station parking tariff to plan around at the former Hellesdon railway station site. The station served Hellesdon historically and is described as closed, then reopened in a limited form (Wikipedia; themilecrossman.com). That makes ordinary commuter assumptions about season tickets, daily rail parking and peak-time station capacity unsuitable here.
For a present-day journey, parking on a bookable private space near the station can provide a more deliberate starting point than relying on the former station yard. The Parksy spaces listed nearby are priced by the day, so they are relevant to drivers making a full-day visit rather than looking for a railway operator’s permit.

Hellesdon Mill Lane has a free car park at Hellesdon Mill, with alternative parking on the lane also identified for walkers (Ramblers).

Buses and Alternatives for Reaching Norwich
Konect Bus service 35 runs between Hellesdon and Rail Station & Carrow Park, providing a bus connection for journeys that do not begin with a drive to the former railway site (konectbus.co.uk). This is the clearest listed public-transport link for connecting Hellesdon with Norwich’s rail station and Carrow Park.
Hellesdon Mill car park on Hellesdon Mill Lane is another named parking location in the area, and the council identifies access to its Centre Car Park via Middletons Lane and Woodview Road (Ramblers; hellesdon-pc.gov.uk). Those locations can serve local visits or onward connections, but neither is identified as a current rail station car park. For a rail journey, the practical interchange is Norwich station reached by the bus service rather than the former Hellesdon platform.
