The local area
Out and about - Rutherford Appleton Laboratory is only a short travel time from the town of Abingdon and the historic university city of Oxford and within easy reach of some of Britain's major attractions.Accommodation- we have arranged accommodation on a first come basis for the workshop at Ridgeway House which is on the Harwell Campus next to the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. Getting here - instruction on getting the Laboratory and the ISIS Neutron and Muon facility can be found here. |
