How to get to Nottingham Forest

By Car

By Road

It shouldn’t take too much time to get up to Nottingham on a good day, with the trip barely passing the 100-mile mark; taking two hours to complete. If you’re travelling to Nottingham by car, you’ll be heading north on the A1(M) to begin with and it will be this stretch that accounts for most of your travelling distance; 81 miles to be exact.

Travel north up the A1 until you reach the exit for the A52 at Grantham, turning left at the end of the slip road for Nottingham. And you will need to stay on the A52 until you come to Gamston on the edge of the city. At the roundabout, take the second exit and join the A6011 for the city centre. Turn left after 0.3 miles onto Radcliffe Road, with Trent Bridge cricket ground shortly appearing on the left and the City Ground on the right up Pavilion Road.

By Rail

Station: NOTTINGHAM
Services to: GRANTHAM (for STEVENAGE)

You can probably walk from Nottingham’s railway station to the City Ground in around 20 minutes, with a distance of one mile separating the two. Exit south from the station on Carrington Street and continue onto Arkwright Street, before turning left after 0.2 miles onto Meadows Way.

Meadows Way will bend around to the right and, shortly after, you’ll be turning left onto Kirkwhite Walk and right shortly after onto London Road. Continue down towards the river, crossing the bridge and turning left for the stadium.

Parking

Parking

Car parking at the City Ground isn’t exactly freely available, with priority given to disabled fans, coaches and players etc. There are a number of “approved” car parks, however.

Meadow Lane, the home of Notts County, is one of those car parks at a cost of £3 per vehicle, while Victoria Embankment is £4 to park and is not too far from the ground either.

Street parking is a risk, however, due to the local parking regulations in force in the area.
