Getting here

Longcliffe House is located just off campus, within easy reach of the University.

The Pilkington Library is approximately 1.4 miles away, around a 25–30 minute walk from door to door, depending on route and pace.

There is also a local bus service (LC16) that runs between Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Loughborough, passing close to both Longcliffe House and the University. Students can catch the bus from the stop outside The Priory, just a short walk from Longcliffe House, and alight at Ashleigh Drive, which is located close to the University campus. The journey typically takes around 6–8 minutes.

For the return journey, students can catch the LC16 service from Ashleigh Drive and travel back to The Priory stop, with a short walk at either end of the journey.

Students are advised to check the timetable in advance when planning their journey.

Students may also find walking routes through nearby residential areas useful, with alternative connections to other local bus services available.
