Entering via the Hunstman entrance

Alternatively, if you're entering the Hospital through the main Huntsman entrance (next to 'Boots Pharmacy') simply follow the main corridor through Huntsman and Firth eventually arriving at Chesterman.

Car Parking

There is a car park opposite the Chesterman Wing next to the Spinal Injuries Unit.

However due to it's size and location, visitors may prefer to use the larger car park opposite the Hadfield building and then walking up the drive to the unit or walking to the main Huntsman entrance and following the corridor to the Chesterman Wing.

There is a charge for parking, and parking fines are in operation in the hospital grounds.
