From Manchester airport to Lake District (Liverpool is also a possibility)
From Manchester Airport, you can take a direct train to Windermere Station. Windermere Station is just 10 minutes from The Belsfield hotel. You can either take the number 555 bus or a 5-minute taxi ride to reach the hotel.
For participants traveling from London, Scotland, Midlands, and Manchester Airport (on long distance trains), the closest station on the Main West Coast Line is Oxenholme (Lake District), which is located 12.9 miles from the conference venue. It is also possible to change there for a local train to Windermere or a taxi (see, e.g., Oxenholme Taxis).
Taxi
Taxis are available outside the Manchester airport Terminals. An alternative (and cheaper) option is to pre-book a taxi. Please, contact Asma Desai (Home page) to get contacts of private hire drivers.
