Exit M5 at junction 16 (Signposted Filton) and join the A38 (South) towards Bristol City Centre. The ground is about five miles down the A38. You will pass the large British Aerospace works and further on, you will pass on your left the Inn on the Green and the Gloucester pubs.
You then pass the Wellington pub on your right and continuing along the A38 Gloucester Road, turn left into Filton Avenue. The entrance to the Club car park is the second right down this road. There is a fair amount of street parking around the sides and back of the Wellington pub.
The nearest railway station is Filton Abbey Wood, which is approximately 1 1/2 miles and a 25-minute walk from the ground. However, most rail travellers are likely to arrive at Bristol Parkway station. Bus services 73 and 74 run past the stadium.
