Most supporters park in side streets near the stadium - please be aware of any parking restrictions - or use the multi-storey car parks in the town centre and take a short walk over the footbridge to Rodney Parade.
Newport Railway Station is situated around a quarter of a mile away from the stadium and is a relatively short walk. The station is served by trains from London Paddington, Bristol Temple Meads & Birmingham New Street.
As you come out of the main station entrance turn left along the main (Queensway) road. Follow this road until you reach a large roundabout.
Take the pedestrian underpass down underneath the roundabout and at the centre turn left towards Clarence Place/River Usk.
After you have come back up to street level you should see a bridge in front of you going across the river.
Cross the bridge and then take the first right hand turn into Rodney Parade and the stadium is down this road on the left.
