The College is easily accessible from all directions and benefits from being free of traffic congestion at peak times. Situated on the A46 seven miles north of Leicester, close to the towns of Loughborough and Melton Mowbray and the city of Nottingham, Ratcliffe College is conveniently located for the national motorway network.
Access by train is equally easy – the College is only 20 minutes from Leicester’s railway station, with its regular services to London and the North.
For air travellers, the M1 and M42 links bring both Birmingham (one hour) and East Midlands (30 minutes) airports within easy reach, while London-Heathrow and London-Stansted are within reasonable travelling distance.
Access to Ratcliffe College can only be made from the Northbound carriageway of the A46. The College is clearly signposted by two directional signs positioned at the side of the carriageway, well before the slip road.
If travelling south on the A46, continue past the College which will be seen on the right – exit from the A46 on the slip road signposted Ratcliffe on the Wreake/Sileby. At the ‘T’ junction turn right under the A46 and right again onto the slip road to rejoin the Northbound carriageway. The College slip road is within a short distance on your left.
