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.
