DIRECTIONS TO BRADFORD CATHEDRAL

There have been considerable changes to the roads within the city centre and it is not advisable to try and access the Cathedral other than off the A650 Shipley Airedale Road.

From M62 east or west exit at J26 onto the M606 to the very end (about three miles).

At the end of the M606 turn right taking the A6177 Rooley Lane (east). Depending on traffic, you are only about five minutes away from the Cathedral.

At the first roundabout continue ahead remaining on the A6177, passing ASDA, McDonald's and the Yorkshire Building Society. Stay in the left lane.

At the next roundabout take the first exit left and down onto the A650 Wakefield Road signposted City Centre, Keighley and Skipton. Move into the middle lane.

At the first roundabout go straight over (HSS hire shop to your right).

At the second roundabout go straight over again (City Electrical Factors on right).

As this road goes down the hill, follow it round to the right (you're now in the left hand lane) staying on the A650 Airedale/Shipley Road. You will also see signs for Saltaire Mill, Shipley and Keighley. Cineworld and Pizza Hut are on your left, Yorkshire Building Society to the right.

Go through several sets of lights quite close together before the road begins to climb and bend left. Stay in the inside lane. (If coming from Leeds on the A647 turn right onto the A650 at these lights).

After about three hundred yards you will come to another set of traffic lights, signposted The Cathedral and Little Germany to your left. Turn left at these lights on Barkerend Road, ignoring the Access Only signs. Coming down you hill you will see the Cathedral in front of you to the right. Just before the bollards for the bus gate swing right into Stott Hill and the Cathedral is on your left.

From Leeds on B6381/Harrogate A658 at the traffic lights onto the A650 Shipley Airedale Road go straight over and down Barkerend Road as above.

From Shipley/Saltaire it is easier to come in on the A6037/650. At the lights over Barkerend Road, although the Cathedral is on your right, you must turn left and go round the roundabout before going straight over the junction again as above.

Parking

There is no parking within the Cathedral Close but there is a free car park behind the Cathedral Halls on your right. Take the first right into Jermyn Street and then right again into the car park.

You can also park anytime in Jermyn Street as there are no restrictions.

In the evenings and on a Sunday there is free on-street around the Cathedral.

There are other car parks in the city, follow the signs. The nearest is on Burnett Street - as you come down Barkerend Road turn left into the Little Germany area onto Peckover Street and then second left as signposted to the Burnett Street car park. Council charges apply.
