Peterborough Train Station

If you’re starting from Peterborough Train Station, walk for five minutes to Peterborough, Queensgate Bus Station and take bus number 2. After four stops, get off at Longthorpe, Woburn Close and walk for 16 minutes to Thorpe Wood, the training venue location. 

An alternative option is to take a taxi from the train station which is a 4-minute ride costing £8 - £10. The training venue is about 3.8 km from the train station so walking may not be the best option as it may take about 50 minutes to get there on foot.

If parking is full, you can still park at nearby car parks such as Orton Mere Station Car Park or Rowing Lake Car Park.
