TRAVEL

Wilton Road is the A36, which leads north-west from Salisbury city centre. There is parking at the Meeting House for up to 15 cars at the rear of the building, including two marked disabled bays. Access is via Fountain Way, which leads into a hospital site: turn in and take the first left. There is some adjacent on-road parking. The railway station is 10 minutes walk from the meeting house: turn left out of the station, walk down to Fisherton Street, and then turn left under the railway bridge, heading for the large St Paul’s roundabout: Wilton Road is the first major exit. Park-and-ride buses coming from the Wilton direction stop very close to the meeting house. For a map, see http://www.salisbury-quakers.co.uk/aboutus.php
