The
hospital is located on the Countess of Chester Health
Park on Liverpool Road (A5116), some three miles outside
Chester city centre.
Travelling to the Hospital
The Countess of Chester Hospital is very busy with over
5000 vehicles coming to and from the site each day.
In order to cope with this huge volume of traffic, we
have developed a transport strategy, ‘Healthways’, to
help reduce carparking demand and traffic congestion.
We have included telephone numbers and web addresses
for you to use if you require any further details.
By public transport
To help patients and visitors attending the hospital,
there are transport information points at the main entrances
to the General Wing and the Women and Children’s building,
and in the Outpatients Department. These hold a variety
of information, including public transport timetables.
