Chester railway station is a 20-minute walk from The Bluecoat.
Cycling
The Chester Bluecoat Charity has bike racks available, however due to the Grade II* listing status of the Bluecoat building, they are at the rear of the building. Any visitor who wishes to park their bike onsite will need to ask a member of staff to grant them access to the bike racks.
There are also bike racks at the new indoor Cycle Hub at Chester Market on Northgate Street and a covered bike rack at the rear of Fountains Medical Practice on Delamere Street.
