By coach from the A3:

Head into Guildford town centre on the Woodbridge Road (A322), and continue across roundabout into Onslow Street (see map). Follow the one-way system past the Friary Centre and do not turn into North Street, but continue towards Debenhams on Millbrook (A281). Turn left into Guildford High Street immediately before a pedestrian crossing (with lights) outside Debenhams. Turn right into Quarry Street and the Museum is 200 metres on your left, just past Castle Street. Coaches may pull up in front of the Museum.

Diesel Fumes from School Coaches

We have received a complaint from offices in Quarry Street concerning the fumes from coaches when dropping off school groups at the Museum. We would be grateful if you could make coach drivers aware of this problem and ask them not to leave their engines running unnecessarily. Thank you.
