PARKING –
We have very limited parking at the Hospital of St Cross. If you are coming to visit, please consider using public transport. We are only a 20 minute walk or a 5 minute bus ride on the No1 Bluestar bus from the City centre. The bus stops conveniently at the end of our driveway.
BY TRAIN TO WINCHESTER
From the train station you can either take a 30 minute walk from the town centre along St Cross Road or through the Water Meadows. You can also take a No 1 Bluestar bus https://www.bluestarbus.co.uk/ from Station Hill bus stop directly at the station which runs regularly throughout the day and disembark at St Cross bus stop (just past the chip shop on St Cross Road). A taxi is another option from the Station to The Bell Inn.
BY BUS
The Bluestar No1 runs a regular 15 minute service from Winchester bus station to Southampton which stops almost directly outside the driveway to The Hospital of St Cross. There is also a Stagecoach Service No 69 (Winchester to Fareham) and an E2 service which runs throughout the day which also stops outside The Hospital of St Cross https://www.bluestarbus.co.uk/ https://www.stagecoachbus.com/routes/south/69/winchester-fareham/xpao069.o https://bustimes.org/services/e2-southampton-eastleigh-boyatt-wood-winchester
