From Wrexham General Station, exit onto Mold Road opposite the Esso petrol
station. Turn right and walk along Mold Road towards the Racecourse Football
Ground until you reach the Dickens' Vauxhall Dealership, with Kwik Fit

Kwik Fit into Maesgwyn Road. The gates at the end of the road take you
straight into the Maelor Hospital campus.
From Wrexham Central Station, turn right and exit the Island Green Shopping
Centre through the car park entrance by the Time Computers store. Turn
right at the road, and walk up to a small roundabout with 'Chances' pine
shop on the left hand side. Cross straight over at the roundabout and
pass over the level crossing.

A number of services from Wrexham's King Street Bus Station run past the
Hospital on their way out of Wrexham. Alight from the bus at the first
stop after passing over the level crossing. On buses passing the Hospital

By car
If approaching Wrexham from the north on the A483 leave this road at the
junction with the A541 (signposted to Mold) and turn left. If approaching
on the A541 from Mold go straight across the junction. Immediately move
into the right hand lane to turn right at the roundabout. Continue past
the entrance to B&Q to another roundabout where you should take the
first exit. Follow the Rhyd Broughton Lane uphill to another roundabout
and turn left for the Hospital.
If approaching from the south on the A483 leave this road at the junction
with the A525 (signposted to Ruthin) and turn right to head towards Wrexham.
If approaching on the A525 from Ruthin continue straight through the junction.
After approximately 1/2 mile take the left hand turn signposted for the
Hospital. Pass the BUPA Yale Hospital on your right and take the second
exit at the roundabout for the Hospital.
If approaching from the east on the A534 (from Holt & Nantwich) come
into the town until the roundabout by the Swimming Baths with the distinctive
peaked roof. Turn left and follow signs for the A525 to Whitchurch until
you pass Halfords, Comet and MFI on your right hand side to reach the
traffic lights at the junction with St Giles Way. Turn right into this
road. If approaching from Whitchurch on the A525 come into Wrexham, passing
the TA barracks on your left. After passing through a set of traffic lights
the road swings to the right and drops down hill to the traffic lights
at St Giles Way. Turn left into this road.
In both cases, continue along St Giles Way, passing through a pedestrian
crossing and another set of traffic lights before coming to the roundabout
by the Island Green Shopping Centre. Pass straight over both this roundabout
and the one that follows shortly afterwards, before crossing the railway
at the level crossing.
