Travelling from Bristol to our Handforth clinic is a straightforward journey whichever way you prefer to go. By train, the most reliable route takes you into Manchester Piccadilly, where you can hop on a local Northern Rail service to Handforth station — just a five-minute ride, and the clinic is a short, flat walk from there; total door-to-door travel time is typically around two and a half hours. If you're driving, the M4 to the M5, joining the M6 northbound and then the M56 westbound, brings you into Cheshire comfortably, with journey times of roughly two to two and a half hours depending on traffic. Free on-site parking is available, so there's no need to worry about finding a space or feeding a meter. One handy tip for those coming up from the Bristol direction: the M6 around Birmingham can be busy mid-morning, so leaving a little earlier tends to make the drive far more relaxed. The good news is you only need to make the trip once — your full written report is sent electronically directly to your GP and school.
