If you would like to walk from the station to the campus there is a quick and direct route although it is quite steep.
Leave the station via the main booking hall, and walk across the forecourt keeping to the right of the car parking area. You will meet Bonhay Road. Cross over at the zebra crossing. Turn left, and almost immediately right into a passageway called St. Clement's Lane. Follow this up the hill; it comes out on to St. David's Hill. Cross over and continue up the road opposite (Howell Road). You will then meet New North Road. Cross over at the zebra crossing, and turn left. The next major turning on the right is Streatham Drive. Take this, and fork left after a short distance (still called Streatham Drive). You will see a large map of the campus.
