Leave the M6 at Junction 29 and take the M65 towards Blackburn. Continue past Blackburn towards Accrington and leave the M65 at Junction 7. Then take the left hand exit at the roundabout onto the A6185 towards Clitheroe (this is in the opposite direction to Accrington).
At the first set of traffic lights turn right onto the A678, towards Padiham, and then at the next traffic lights, turn right onto the A680 towards Accrington. After about half a mile along the A680 you will pass the Crown pub on your left. Take the next left into Livingstone Road and then an immediate left for the Club car park. The car park is of a reasonable size and is free, however as you would expect it fills up pretty quickly. Otherwise street parking.
Accrington station is about a mile away from the ground. On exiting the station, walk down the hill towards the large roundabout in the centre of town. Take the Milnshaw Lane exit at the opposite side of the roundabout. After approximately 100 yards, this road joins Whalley Road.
Bear left up the hill and follow Whalley Road for about a mile, passing the hospital, traffic lights and a mini roundabout. Take the next right into Livingstone Road. The football club is approximately 100 yards on the left.
