Map and directions
Salford Royal is about four miles west of Manchester city centre and is easily accessible by public transport. We do have two car parks but they are very busy; you may have a long wait at peak times. Wherever possible please use public transport, come by bike or walk, Exercise reduces the risk of chronic illnesses, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, asthma, stroke and some cancers. It makes you feel better too.
