Before you go
- Drive times are estimates
- Calculated from straight-line distance, with no allowance for traffic, roadworks, parking or finding the admissions office. Treat them as a rough shape, not a schedule, and leave yourself margin — especially before the first tour.
- Confirm each tour with the college
- Times move, tours fill and dates get cancelled, sometimes at short notice. We read these from each college's own booking system, but only they know what is running on the day. Book through the links above and check before you set off.
