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

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.
