Getting To and Around Clare College (Memorial Court)

  • Arriving By Car or Bike View
    • Clare College has 3 sites; Memorial Court, Old Court and The Colony. Memorial Court is located off Queen’s Road (A1134), just to the West of the city centre. This part of the city can be accessed most easily from the M11 via Junction 12 or 13. There are various Park and Ride schemes for people who would prefer to not drive into central Cambridge.
    • There is very limited parking at Clare College and it is strictly controlled. Anyone parking on-site must have prior permission via the Head Porter. Students are generally not permitted to use cars in the immediate locality unless given permission based on specific requirements. At Memorial Court there is parking on the access road in front of the Porters’ Lodge and along Thirkill Drive and the access road leading to Lerner Court. There are no marked parking bays for Blue Badge holders.
    • Cycling is a popular form of transport in Cambridge. The city is relatively flat and there is an extensive network of cycle routes. There is provision for bicycle storage at Clare College.

  • Accessing the College Site View
    • There are three driveways in Queen’s Road which give access to the Memorial Court site. All have vehicular access with parking along them and none of them have a dedicated footpath for pedestrians so care should be taken. The central one is the only one which does not have a vehicle security barrier but is the only one with stepped access. It also has a gate for pedestrian access (Photograph 1). The gate is permanently held open and has an opening width of 90cm. Beyond the gate the straight driveway is level with a tarmac surface but is slightly uneven in places with some loose stones (Photograph 2). There are then 12 steps leading up to the passageway into Memorial Court where the Porters’ Lodge is located (Photograph 3). The steps do not have handrails or markings.
    • The driveway to the left (or south) of the one described above, is called Thirkill Drive and it leads to Thirkill Court at the rear left of the site. This is a vehicular entrance, and it is controlled by a security barrier. There is a path to bypass the barrier, but it is very narrow (width 66cm) and is via a vehicle turning bay (Photograph 4). After the security barrier the driveway has a tarmac surface, which is uneven in places, and a very slight upwards gradient (Photograph 5). As you reach the front of the Memorial Court building there is a footpath to the right that connects the 3 driveways and can be used to bypass the steps in front of the Porters’ Lodge. The path is flat with a tarmac surface and a minimum width of 130cm (Photograph 6). If you continue along the driveway instead there is access to Thirkill Court via a wide open gateway (Photograph 7).
    • The driveway to the right (or north) leads up to Lerner Court at the rear right of the site. This is also a vehicular entrance which is controlled by a security barrier (Photograph 8). The barrier does have an intercom system at a height of 103cm. To the left of the security barrier there is a path, but it is narrow past the barrier (width 75cm) before it widens to 100cm. The path has a surface with consists of a metal grid over packed loose stones and may not be suitable for some. The path and driveway have a slight but long upwards gradient (Photograph 9). At the end of the driveway there is a pedestrian gate leading into Lerner Court (Photograph 10). The gate is held open and has an opening width of 165cm.
    • In addition to the three driveways, pedestrians with key cards can also access the College via the rear gate which is located outside University Library. The gate opens away from you (push) and is heavy (Photograph 11). The opening width is 90cm and the card reader height is 112cm. The rear gate gives access to Ashby Court.
  • Getting Around the College Site View
    • The College site itself is mostly level with paths running around the edges of the courts and around the central library. The majority of paths are wide (150cm+) with a tarmac or flagstone/block paving surface (Photographs 12-15).
    • There are open passageways between courts with entrance widths of 96cm-115cm (Photographs 16 and 17). There are some paths which are narrowed by plants or furniture (Photographs 18 and 19).
  • Additional College Site Information View
    • Access into the buildings at Memorial Court varies and some have stepped access (Photographs 20 and 21). There is an external platform lift to overcome the steps at the Library entrance (Photograph 22) and some entrances have temporary or permanent ramps (Photographs 23 and 24). Please see our Detailed Access Guides for further information on access to buildings.
    • There is limited directional signage around the College site (Photographs 25 and 26) which might mean those unfamiliar with the layout could need an escort or a map to reference.
    • There are many seats around the site for people to rest. Accessible toilet facilities are located in the Gillespie Centre.
