The ICO exists to empower you through information.

From the south

From the south you will approach Wilmslow either through Alderley Edge (on the B5359 Alderley Road which becomes the B5086 as you approach Wilmslow) or via the A34 Alderley Edge Bypass (also known as Melrose Way).  Follow the signs to Wilmslow Town Centre on the B5086.  As you pass Sainsbury’s on your right hand side, keep in the left hand lane up to the junction and turn left at the traffic lights into Water Lane (A5358, sign posted Altrincham).

Take the second road on your left (Wycliffe Avenue) just before the Aston Martin garage, then turn immediately left into the private car park. Approach the barrier and press the intercom button on the right hand side to contact Reception. Security will allow access for dropping off only, unless you have pre-arranged parking (only available for visitors with reduced mobility).

From the north

From the north, exit the M60 at J3, sign posted Cheadle/Wilmslow. Turn left onto Kingsway A34, a dual carriageway which becomes the A34 bypass.  Go through 4 roundabouts, then at the 5th take the second exit past the Ford Car showroom and go under the viaduct. Turn left at the roundabout towards Wilmslow town centre (A538). Continue straight on through the first set of traffic lights, carry on through the pedestrian crossing, and turn right at the next set of lights onto Water Lane sign posted  Altrincham (A538).

From the east
