Aston Villa
Directions
The ground can be seen from the M6, if you are coming from the North side of Birmingham. Leave the M6 at Junction 6 and take the slip road sign posted Birmingham (NE). Turn right at the island (the fourth exit), the ground is well signposted from here. However to be on the safe side, turn right at the second set of traffic lights (there is the King Edward VII pub on the corner) on to Aston Hall Road. This road will take you down to the ground. There is limited street parking (although don't be surprised if you are approached by kids wanting to 'mind your car').
By Train
Take the short train journey from Birmingham New Street (around 10-15 minutes) to either Aston or Witton station. Witton station is recommended as it is nearer to the away end and is only a short walk from the ground. Turn left out of the station exit and continue down to a roundabout. Turn left at the roundabout into Witton Lane and the entrance to the away section is down this road on the first corner of the ground that you reach. Approx 1 hr 30 min return £8-00 but check last trains back
Pubs
There are a number of pubs in the vicinity of Villa Park, but most of them on match days are either members only or have bouncers on the door.
Please note that alcohol is not available in the away end…..
'The Cap and Gown' – Half the pub is given to away fans (there is even a separate entrance for away fans). It is only a short walk from the away entrance, right on Witton Island. However it does charge £2 per person to gain entry.
'The Harriers' – which is on Broadway, near to the school of the same name, you may find some street parking in this area
If you arrive a bit earlier then you may wish to visit the historic Barton Arms, located on High Street Aston (A34). This Grade II listed building, is one of Birmingham's finest pubs, with superb Victorian decor, serving Oakham ales and Thai food is also on offer.
