By road

Arriving on the M11 motorway, exit at junction 11 and follow the signs into Cambridge. Pass the Trumpington Park & Ride on the left. Continue on the same road all the way into the city passing through Trumpington, past several large private schools on the right and then a piece of common land (see map) that often has horses/cattle on the left. Ultimately, arrive at a pair of mini-roundabouts adjacent to a large hotel (The Royal Cambridge). Go straight ahead at the first roundabout, then immediately right at the second onto Lensfield road. Turn first left, after about 50 metres, into Tennis Court Road (this is one way!). Note: at all sites, parking is restricted, so you should make arrangements beforehand.

You may also wish to consider using one of the many Park & Ride sites around the edge of the city. Following the directions above, as soon as you've left the M11 and turned right towards Cambridge, the Park & Ride is obvious on the left. Buses depart every ten minutes, from around 7 am until after 7 pm.

PDN is within 5 minutes' walking distance of the Cambridge bus/coach station in Drummer Street. Details of the bus services can be found here.
