Find a HotelVerdant Works sits in the historic Blackness area of Dundee, a short walk from the city centre. Direct trains run from Edinburgh, Glasgow and London, and Edinburgh Airport is about an hour by road.
Low Emission Zone: Dundee city centre now has an LEZ. Non-compliant vehicles are fined, so check your vehicle and watch for the signs. Verdant Works and the University/Ninewells are outside the zone.
Parking at Verdant Works: there's a car park round the back, free if you register your number plate at reception (charges are steep if you don't). It's not for long-term parking.
Mobility: if you have mobility issues, ask to be dropped at the front entrance of Verdant Works, as there's no short or accessible route from the car park.
