The hospital proper was demolished after it was closed, and the site is practically flat, apart from a few large houses to the west end of the site, which look derelict.
But, I could be wrong.
If I recall correctly, the west end near the houses has tree cover, so approaching from west or south would be difficult to spot, and those side are bounded by industrial or housing areas. Both are kind of sparse.

No, not really. I had the misfortune to have family end up in there, and the hospital to me was the sprawl of buildings that covered the site, and network of roads that ran around it. I don't know what the function of the 'buildings that look like houses' was, but when you visited the wards, patients or surgical areas, you never went anywhere near them.
Saved me asking a question though, I was sure I'd seen mention that there had been a visit to the site by someone.
Is any of it posted anywhere?
