Travelling from Exeter 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 the Great Western or CrossCountry service into Bristol or Birmingham, then onward to Manchester Piccadilly, with a short connecting train on the Styal line bringing you into Handforth station in around five minutes — total journey time is typically four to four and a half hours. If you prefer to drive, the M5 northbound joining the M6 then the M56 brings you directly into the SK9 area, with sat-nav to SK9 3SQ guiding you straight onto site; free parking is available for all clients. A practical tip for travellers from Devon: aim to arrive with a little time to spare, as services through Bristol can run slightly behind during peak hours, and a calm arrival genuinely helps the assessment go smoothly. You make the journey just once — your detailed report travels electronically, sent directly to your GP and school on your behalf.
