Parking and directions within Stonyhurst

As the College grounds are so big, we hope these photos will help those not acquainted with the site...

First, here is an aerial view showing the front entrance from the main road, the main college buildings, St Peter's Church, and also the main car park and entrance reception. (through the "glass doors"):


From the ground, below are visual snapshots - a potted guided tour from the main gates, to St Peter's and on to the car park and reception entrance:
 

So, from the highway:
This is the view from the main road, down the Avenue through the main gates into Stonyhurst...




At the end of the Avenue, turn RIGHT...





St Peter's Church is be on your left. (There will be 'no parking' road cones along this section)
Then turn LEFT...        


(keeping the Church front entrance on your left)...

... go straight on...
(as per the direction pointed and modelled by the future Mrs Addy...)




You will go through this open gateway...



Almost there...
...carry on for about 100 yards and turn LEFT into the main car park.

If you have booked accommodation, the "glass doors" for the main entrance and reception desk can be found through the central arches. (the right-hand glass door marked "Reception"). Staff will be at the desk and can direct you to your booked rooms.




It's a short walk back to St Peter's Church. (If you have time before our Nuptual Mass at 2pm, enjoy a stroll around the Jesuit Gardens).
Please aim to be in church by 1.45pm.
Only 1 person is allowed to be late on the day!





To recap, here is the aerial photo again:



If you need to ask for directions, please remember that some locals around here talk funny. The way to pronounce "car park" in this part of Lancashire is "Care Perk"    ;o)
