Directions

By Air
From Bristol International Airport there is a regular Flyer coach service to Bristol Temple Meads train station and Bristol Bus Station in Marlborough Street. The services run every 30 minutes between 6:45 am and 10:45 pm.  From Bristol Temple Meads you have the choice of a taxi or the no. 8 bus to Clifton Village. With this service alight at W H Smith in Clifton Down Road. Walk down the hill, past two zebra crossings. Emmaus House is on the corner of Clifton Hill and Hensman's Hill which is the third turning on the right after W H Smith. A short drive leads to the House set back from the road.
We recommend that you take a taxi from the Bus Station.

By Rail or Coach
Rail passengers are recommended to alight at Bristol Temple Meads Station - Bristol Parkway is further away on the outskirts of the city.  Temple Meads is about 4 miles from Emmaus House and Bristol Bus Station approximately 2 miles.  Once at either station, see directions as in Air above.
