Druitt Gardens - Christchurch - Dorset - BH23 1AB

Location

For a map showing Druitt Gardens, please use this Google Maps link. It will open into a new browser tab and directly place you on the "street view" showing the bus stop in the High Street and the adjacent 'Druitt Approach' that lies to the side of the library.
Follow Druitt Approach, between 27 High Street and Christchurch Library, for about 50 yards to find the hall (the hall is visible from the High Street).
Although marked on the tarmac as 'Private Car Park', this is a right of way up to the lovely Druitt Gardens for pedestrians and for vehicles to deliver / collect from Druitt Hall.
Exit from this street view to the map itself to request directions from your location.
Alternative entrances into the gardens exist via Creedy Path: one end being in Wick Land and the other in Sopers Lane.
Pedestrian entry is also available from the High Street via a footpath to the right of The Regent Theatre, one through the Corn Factor site (Renaissence Retirement flats) and directly from the Wick Lane car park.

Parking is available nearby in the following:

  • Wick Lane car park (approx 50 yds walk from car park to hall across Druitt Gardens)
  • Saxon Square shoppers car park (approx 150 yds walk)
  • Bank car park, Sopers Lane (approx 150 yds walk)
  • By-Pass car park, Waitrose (approx 250 yds)via underpass
  • In the High Street at certain times (do check the street notices!)

NOTE - The library parking area is designated for use by BCP contractors and visitors to the library building who have restricted mobility. Use of any other parking space and inconsiderate use of the access and turning area by hirers may result in loss of the one space that we can use.


Public Transport:

The High Street is well-served by Morebus routes: 1a, 1b, 1c, 24, 33, 125, X1 and X2

NOTE - the High Street is closed to traffic on most Mondays for the street market and at times of other events. Buses use the by-pass rather than High Street/Bridge Street on these occasions.
