By bike

There are covered bike sheds close to reception for visitors, but you should bring your own high security lock. If you are just visiting the cafe, bikes can be parked for short periods in reception, but still needs to be locked securely.  

A footbridge crosses the Ashton canal, which is National Route 60, so there are a number of off-road routes you can use, some of them only suitable in daylight hours.
