York City
Directions
A1 From The South:
Take the A64 to Scarborough and York. When you near York,
join the A1237 Ring Road
and continue on it until you reach the junction with the A19.
Turn right at the junction and take the A19 towards York
City Centre and keep going until you get to a pub on your
left called the Burton Stone Inn, at which
point you turn left
into Burton Stone Lane. Then take the first right
into Grosvenor Road for the ground.
A1 From the North:
Take the A19 and follow the directions as above.
If you arrive early enough then there is street parking
to be found in a number of side roads off Burton Stone Lane. Otherwise you
may have to travel a further distance away from the ground as there are a
number of residents only parking schemes in operation in the general area,
or you could seek out a pay and display car park
in the city centre and walk back out to the ground.
Pubs
There is a supporters club on the corner of the ground,
Otherwise the nearest pub is the Burton Stone Inn which
you should see on the A19 as you near the ground.
Going back down
the A19 (away from the city centre) on the left there is another pub called
the 'Old Grey Mare' which sells Theakstons.
If you have a bit of time on your hands and you like real ale then it may be
advisable to embark on a 15 minute stroll up the A19 and into York City
Centre. If at the top of the A19 you proceed through the old Bootham Gate
into the old town you will quickly reach on your right a York Brewery outlet
called the 'Three Legged Mare'. Although a small modern bar it has a great
range of real ales on offer, plus a selection of continental bottled beers.
By Train
York mainline train
station is a good 15-20 minute walk away from the ground. Thanks
to John Atkin for providing the following directions from the station to
the ground: 'Leave the station and turn left. At the traffic lights
turn left into Station Rise. After the Royal Mail HQ turn right into an alley (Do not go into the tunnel under the railway). The railway is now on
your left. Follow the footpath down the alley way, over the foot/rail
bridge crossing the river and through the car park all with the railway
still on your left. Now go under the railway and turn right immediately.
You are now in Bootham Terrace with large terraced houses on your left and
the railway on your right. At the top of this slight hill you come to a T
junction with Bootham (the A19). Turn left,
walk about 100 yards and cross the Zebra crossing. Bootham Crescent
is straight ahead.
