From Moreton, follow the A553 Westwards away from Moreton cross (pass Wimpy on your right). Go right through Moreton, and after half a mile or so go straight across at the traffic lights near the Shell garage. After another half mile or so, go over the railway bridge, and contine on for another mile until you see Hoylake Cottage hospital on your right. Hoylake Evangelical Church will be just on your right after the pelican crossing.

From Irby, head for Greasby. When you reach the T-junction, turn left and then take your first right. Go straight over the roundabout (not right towards Greasby itself) and follow the road out. At the next roundabout, go straight over and follow the road until you reach another T-juction. Turn left, go over the railway bridge, and contine on for another mile until you see Hoylake Cottage hospital on your right.

There are bus-stops right outside the church in both directions. We are at the eastern end of Hoylake, about 50metres from the Hoylake Cottage Hospital.

Busses are on the 186 route and run once per hour. We recommend that you check with Merseytravel for timetable details. Their number is 0151 236 7676. If it turns out that you might need to arrive a little late or leave a little early as a result of the bus times then please don't worry - we would much rather you came for at least part of a service than not at all!
