Getting here

Parking spaces are very limited at the hospital and we would encourage you to use public transport or other means of getting to the hospital.  Free parking is available near the market place, with a short walk (10 minutes uphill) to the hospital.

If you chose to drive, there is a parking machine on site to pay for the parking, which requires cash.

There are bicycle racks available just to the right of the main reception, if you chose to cycle.

We are very fortunate to be located on a main road (A417) and buses are available – X32, S8, X36, 34, 38
