Driving

We are located just off the A1M which runs almost all the way up the country. We have car parking right outside and you can park in any of the spaces (regardless of what any signs say).

If travelling from overseas, car hire is pretty much the same all over the world, just look online for the closest ones to the airport you arrive at. You can drive anywhere in the UK within a day, and other than potentially driving on the wrong side of the road if you’re visiting from overseas, it’s pretty straight forward. We have many roundabouts and you can't turn right if the light's on red.
