Car Parking As the museum is in the middle of a residential area, we ask able-bodied visitors to avoid parking in Mill Close and causing difficulties for our lovely neighbours! Please leave Mill Close for residents and the disabled.
Free parking is available in the Gardiner Memorial Hall car park, in Burwell High Street (CB25 0HD, look out for the A-board opposite the car park entrance when we’re open). The museum is a short walk (about 200m) along Mill Close – find the museum sign (rear left of carpark), go up the path out of the car park and take the road which leads straight ahead just to your left.Carpark entrance location on What3Words ///intestine.dictation.goat and on Google Maps https://maps.app.goo.gl/VaG7SXJQSLqd2aQn7.
