ENABLES YOU TO CARRY A DESCRIPTIVE ROUTE COPY, since most maps rather poorly display the hospital grounds.
Here is a pleasant pedestrian or cycling route.
An alternative to following the slightly longer 48 bus route beside busy roads.
This starts towards the QE Hospital, and through its grounds.
Cross the road and follow a path WEST from University Station towards the NEW QE Hospital's main entrance.
Open-air fruit stalls become available; then, outside the rotating entrance doors, you pass to the right of a gigantic shining sculpture of square edged: "steel crossed fingers" - onto a curving cycle/pedestrian tarmac path through the grassed hospital grounds. This continues - under the long, enclosed overhead hospitals' linking walkway – until you come shortly to a zebra crossing, which you follow over its road which then keeps going North. (The very short first length of your roadside route here is named Mindelsohn Way).
You next pass in front of the Women's Hospital, beside its very large female statue on your left: thus continuing straight North [when Mindelsohn Way has turned to the East on your right].
You have now reached the cycle and pedestrian road-end through access - (between bollards, and not apparent on most maps) – into Metchley Park Road.
You proceed – still North – straight into and along that road, with sports fields behind hedges & trees to either side.
Really delightful in Spring & Summer; this next part of the quiet Metchley Park Road, is between very pleasantly planted, large suburban front gardens.
At the roundabout (c250 yds ahead from the bollards) turn right briefly in Somerset Rd, then left into Harrison's Rd.
The view of the venue at the head of these pages is a few yards along, to your left.
