The Continental

Public Transport Directions

Walk / Cycle: From the town centre, go down to the river through Avenham or Miller park - turn right on the riverside path, and go straight on until you leave the park: The Continental will be the first building you see. If it's later on or you don't fancy going through the park, you can just go straight down Fishergate Hill past the train station and County Hall. Keep going until you reach South Meadow Lane, then turn left - carry on all the way to the end of South Meadow Lane. We're the last building you reach, next to the railway bridge. If you're coming from Penwortham or west Preston, the simplest way to get here is to walk south along Broadgate along the river, then along Riverside until you get to the pub on the corner of Riverside and South Meadow Lane. Bicycle racks are supplied at the front of the pub, next to the side gate in the beer garden, and in the carpark at the back of the beer garden. Bus: You can catch the Preston Bus or Stagecoach service number 3 down Fishergate, and get off at the junction of Fishergate Hill and Broadgate (just before the bridge over the river Ribble). From here, it's just a short walk down Broadgate and on to Riverside until you get the the pub, on the corner of Riverside and South Meadow Lane. Both services also call at the bus stop on the opposite side of Fishergate Hill on the return journey to Preston, along with services to and from Leyland, Southport and other outlying areas.
