Public Transport
Buses 30, 31 and 38 stop on Whickham View just outside of the John Marley Centre (the name of the stop is Whickham View - Muscott Grove). You can't access the garden from the front of the John Marley Centre, so you'll need to walk along to Yewcroft Avenue and follow the directions above.
All three bus services can be joined immediately outside Newcastle Central Station. Journey times vary between 20 and 30 minutes and the services run regularly throughout the day.
The Stagecoach number 1 bus to Slatyford also stops close to the garden on Denton Road just past Excelsior Academy. From the bus stop, walk up Dorset Road. At the top of this street, turn right onto Yewcroft Avenue and then follow the road round into the car park. Nexus website.
Cycling
The garden is a short walk or cycle from Hadrian's Wall Path (a long distance footpath and national cycle route that follows the route of the Roman Wall).
