How to get here

By bus or rail

Stoke-on-Trent railway station is about 5 miles away. From the city, the 101 bus serves Trentham Monkey Forest frequently, and many visitors connect via Hanley bus station using the 21/21A then switch to the 101 for the final leg; stops such as Allerton Road are a short walk from the entrance. Check First Potteries timetables for current times.

From the M6, exit at J15 and follow signs to the A34 for Stafford and Trentham Gardens, then follow brown signs to Monkey Forest South Entrance. If you are approaching from the M1, take exits 23a or 24a to the A50 for Stoke-on-Trent, then follow signs to Trentham on the A34 and the brown tourist signs. For sat nav, use ST12 9HR, which leads you to Strongford Garage opposite the entrance; do not rely on the estate’s general postcode.
