HOW TO GET TO MIRSTOCK

WOLVEY VILLA CAMPING SITE , WOLVEY, B4065

FLYING

Nearest Airport is Birmingham International. (BHX) This is served by road and rail. It is on/near M42, A45 and M6 motorways. To drive to MS from here take M6 South (signed for London) Come off at Junction 2. Follow instructions from there. From airport there is a shuttle to adjacent Rail station Birmingham International. Trains run frequently to Birmingham or Coventry from here. From Birmingham regular trains to Nuneaton Rail.

RAIL

Coventry Rail station is quite a way as it is right on opposite of City and MS is on outskirts. Nearest railway stations are Hinckley and Nuneaton. Nuneaton is the best as it is on more main line and easier to get to MS site. And trains are more frequent. It is also easier to arrange pick ups from MS site from Nuneaton.

BUS

If you get national bus to Coventry City Centre  there are no buses to Wolvey village. It is a fairly long way from Wolvey so may be cheaper to get a bus to Nuneaton. I not sure about weekends but midweek there are about 2 buses a day to Wolvey.  However taxis are available form both Nuneaton and Coventry bus stations, but I believe  Nuneaton would be cheaper.
