If you do come by vehicle, the High Street entrance is the only way to drive into the Close. Beware – satellite navigation systems sometimes suggest St. Ann’s gate, which offers pedestrian-only access. Best to use SP1 2PF for the High Street Post Office to be directed to the High Street Gate. From there a parking attendant will check your destination. Turn left on North Walk; Sarum College is about 100 metres on the left.

From St Paul’s Roundabout
Leave the roundabout at the exit after St Paul’s Church signposted for the railway station. Go under the railway bridge and turn sharp right at the mini-roundabout towards the station. Turn left at the next mini-roundabout at the station entrance. Follow Mill Road, Crane Bridge Road and Crane Street to the High Street traffic lights. Turn right into High Street and once inside The Close turn left into North Walk. Sarum College is on your left opposite Bishop’s Walk.

From St Mark’s Roundabout
From the left lane of London Road (A30), exit to the A36 going South (past Bourne Avenue and Wain-a-Long Road). Move to the right lane before you arrive at the College roundabout and go straight (second exit, A36 to Southampton is the first exit) until you arrive at the New Bridge Roundabout.

From New Bridge Road Roundabout
Take the City exit from the roundabout and follow Exeter Street into St John Street, keeping in the left-hand lane. Opposite the White Hart Hotel, turn left at the traffic lights into New Street. Turn left at the High Street traffic lights into the Close, then turn left into North Walk. Sarum College is on your left opposite Bishop’s Walk.
