Cycling

There are 11 cycle parking spaces available, six of which are sheltered and five of which are wheel stands.

 

A local on-road cycle route exists along the A38. A convenient off-road route also exists along the Worcester and Birmingham Canal which is located approximately 500m behind the site. Access to and from the canal can be achieved at “The Dingle” road which connects to the B384 near Selly Oak train station. However at present there are no clear signs to promote the access point.

 

Walking

While 900m from Selly Oak station to WMRC may be an unacceptable walking distance for some, the route is well lit, paved and offers safe crossing points. Walking to and from the station could therefore be a feasible travel mode for some staff and visitors.

Our patients and their carers and families are the reason we're here, so we want to hear your views about the Trust and our services.
