Heatherwood Hospital - On Foot or by Bicycle

Heatherwood Hospital is situated at the junction of the A329 and A332, providing connections to local centres including Ascot, Bracknell and Windsor. The nearest centre of Ascot, including Ascot Train Station, is between 5 to 15 minutes walk and less than 5 minutes by bicycle. The larger regional centre of Bracknell is less than 3 miles to the west of the hospital which is approximately 20 minutes by bike..

The Trust has limited parking and vehicle congestion is high at peak times, particularly between 10:30am – 12:30pm and 2:00pm - 4:00pm on weekdays. We would encourage anyone who is able, to walk or cycle to the hospital.

Bicycle parking sheds for both staff and visitors are provided near Day Surgery, close to Gate 2, and outside Social Services, which is behind the main Administration Building and can be accessed via either Gate 2 or Gate 3. Please click on the link below to see a map of visitor cycle parking.
