My full address is 6 Lynton Road, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, (important for Sat Navs), Manchester M21 9NQ. Chorlton is approx 3 miles south of Manchester City Centre on the intersection of Barlow Moor Road and Wilbraham Road. (There's a bank on each of the four corners).
Bus from the City Centre : Take the 86 from Piccadilly Gardens. It should take about 20 - 25 minutes. Get off at the stop after the Leisure Centre and Unicorn Organic Supermarket. Walk down to the Library and turn into Longford Road. Lynton Road is off Longford.
Metro from the City Centre : The Metro now runs all the way from the City Centre to Chorlton. Turn right out of the station and walk along Wilbrham Road to the central crossroads, (the four Banks). Turn right and walk along Barlow Moor Road for about 150m until you get to the Library. Turn left into Longford Road and cross over Oswald Road. You'll still be on Longford Road and Lynton Road is the second turning on the right.
From M56 : Follow signs for the A5103 and Manchester City Centre. At the first set of traffic lights turn left into Barlow Moor Road. Continue for approx 2 miles. Go through the central crossroad and at the Library turn left into Longford Road. Lynton Road is off Longford.
From M60 (clockwise) : come off at J5, signposted A5103/Manchester, then follow instructions as for M56 above.
From M60 (anti-clockwise) : Come off at J7/6. It's signposted Sale & Altrincham, which isn't very helpful as you don't want to go to either of these places! You'll come onto a very long sliproad at which point you'll see a sign for the A56 and Stretford/Manchester. (if in doubt, keep left!) at the traffic lights turn left into the 3-lane dual carriage way; get into the central lane; go round the roundabout following signs for Manchester City Centre. Stretford Shopping Centre should be on your left. Get into the r/h lane and turn right at the first traffic lights. Go past Stretford Station, through the t/ls at the bottom of the hill into Edge Lane. Continue for next mile until you get to t/ls. Keep left and you'll come into Wilbraham Road. This will bring you into Chorlton. At central crossroads turn left into Barlow Moor Road. At the Library turn left into Longford Road. Lynton Road is off Longford.
