CAR
Drivers are recommended to approach the University from the junction of A64 and A1079 on the east of the city, where the University is signposted. Limited parking is available on campus for a fee. For more detailed information and maps, please see the "Maps & Directions" page of the University website: http://www.york.ac.uk/about/maps/
BICYCLE
Cycling is arguably the most convenient way to travel around York as there are plenty of cycle paths and parking throughout the city and on the University campus. York City Council provides an online map and directory for cycle hire here: http://www.itravelyork.info/uploads/York_Cycle_Map.pdf
BUS TO UNIVERSITY (FROM YORK RAILWAY STATION & CITY CENTRE)
Regular bus services run from York Railway Station and York city centre to the Heslington West Campus, where the conference will be held. Buses nos. 4, 44, and 66 all depart from both York Railway Station and various locations in the city centre and stop at four (4) locations across both campuses of the University of York. Alight at the J.B. Morrell Library stop for the Berrick Saul Building, which is the second stop. Be advised that York has two campuses in Heslington, called "East" and "West" respectively, and that the BSB is on the West campus not the East (which also has a direct bus service from the City Centre, namely the no .6). The 4, 44, and 66, however, all serve as free shuttles to connect the two campuses, which are about a 5-10 minute bus ride apart.

Finding the Berrick Saul Building at the University of York
The Berrick Saul Building (BSB), home to the Humanities Research Centre and hence also sometimes referred to as the "HRC," is a short walk from the central bus stop outside the J.B. Morrell Library (the circled "B" on the map above). Once you have alighted at the J.B. Morrell stop coming from the city centre, cross the road and head straight until you come to the "Market Square" (which has a Nisa supermarket among other businesses). Then head for the covered walkway at left and follow it until the end (you'll be looking over a large pond). Turn left, and proceed until you see a modern glass and wood building at the left: this is the Berrick Saul Building.

Off-Campus (Between City Centre & University)
