Travelling from Cheltenham to our Handforth clinic in Cheshire is a straightforward journey, and we want you to feel relaxed and prepared well before you arrive. By rail, the most reliable route is to take a train from Cheltenham Spa towards Manchester Piccadilly, then hop on a local Northern service to Handforth station, which sits just five minutes' walk from our clinic — the total journey typically takes around two and a half hours. If you'd rather drive, the M5 northbound connects smoothly onto the M6 and then the M56, bringing you into Handforth in approximately two hours depending on traffic; free on-site parking means you can pull straight in without any fuss. One practical tip: the stretch of the M6 around Birmingham and Knutsford can be busy during morning rush hour, so setting off before 7.30 am or after 9.30 am is well worth considering. Once your assessment is complete, there's no need to carry anything away — your detailed report travels electronically, sent directly to your GP and school on your behalf.
