HOW TO GET TO US

Travelling by: CAR - TRAIN - LOCAL BUS - TAXI

By Road - St. Beuno's lies halfway between Rhuallt and Tremeirchion just off the B5429.  When traveling east from Holyhead or Conwy on the A55 take exit 28 signed Rhuallt B5429.  Take a right turn at the roundabout at the junction, then another right in the village just after Jones' Land Rover garage.

When travelling west from Chester or Queensferry take exit 29. Be alert it is the second Tremeirchion turnoff and the sign is hidden by a bend.
In the village of Rhuallt, just as you have passed the 40mph signs, take the signposted road to Tremeirchion and Bodfari (There is a little old chapel on the corner).  Nb. In summer the signpost is usually obscured by vegetation.   St. Beuno's is the first left turn after about half a mile. Bing Map

By Train or Coach

The nearest rail station to St. Beuno's is Rhyl on the North Wales Coast Line.  There are always taxis at the railway station.
Further details of Trains

Rhyl is also the nearest National Express coach stop.  (From London to Rhyl by coach is not really practical - over 7 hours journey for £27.50+ and there are rarely taxis near the bus stop on the seafront.)

What time to arrive? If you are coming on one of our standard retreats we ask you to arrive in the afternoon. Anytime between 2.30pm and 6pm is fine, but if you are coming by train the times below might be helpful.  If you can't arrive until after 6pm, then please give a call or send an email to let us know when to expect you and whether you would like a meal when you arrive.

TAXI

Share a taxi? In order to save both money and the environment we suggest that you try and share a taxi from the station in Rhyl. (Cost for 2011 £15 single)  In order to do this it might be helpful to take take the train which arrives in Rhyl at 16.29 on weekdays, leaving the following stations:


         London Euston 13.30 or 13.40
         Manchester Picaddilly 14.50
         Warrington Bank Quay 15.26
         Crewe 15.21
         Chester 15.55

If you contact our local taxi firm before you leave and give the time your train is expected to arrive at Rhyl station, then they will be there with a 'St Beuno's' card and will pick up any other people on your train who respond to the card - thus saving you all money. Contact e-mail or phone John, at A2B Taxis Rhyl on: 01745 334433

NB. We cannot give the names of others who might be needing a taxi, firstly because we don't know who is travelling by train and who by car, and secondly it is not ethical to pass on the names and contact details of people without their permission. So it is not worthwhile ringing our secretary to ask "Is there anyone else coming to Rhyl station at 4pm?" You might try St Beuno's Twitter page to leave a message asking for a joint taxi with your time? Beunos is our name.

Beware!, some Taxi firms charge up to £25 for a single journey: We have negotiated with Coastline Taxis and A2B Taxis for a cost of £14- £15. Ask for costs before you commit yourself to a taxi if you haven't booked.

If you are leaving St Beuno's with a group, then the taxi will leave at 9.15 in the morning and get to the station in time for trains leaving from about 9.45am. St Beuno's will pay for this taxi on the official end day of each group retreat. We cannot pay for people who wish to leave at a different time or for those who are not part of a programmed retreat.
