All following transport provisions are subject to the travel companies’ offers and their Terms and Conditions.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Park and Ride – If you are looking to drive to Winchester, please use the Park and Ride service. There are four Park and Ride sites in Winchester and we are well served by the service. The nearest Park and Ride bus stop is outside the Royal Hampshire County Hospital on Romsey Road, less than a five minute walk to both King Alfred and West Downs Quarters. Up to six passengers can travel on each daily Park and Ride ticket, perfect if you’re car sharing.

We offer discounts on the Park and Ride scheme for students. Find out by visiting

You also have the option to Park and Stride from Pitt Park and Ride, which is a 20 minute walk to campus.
