Going to Norwich?

If travelling by train please read the updated full article for a good money saving tip

Directions

The ground is well signposted from the A11 and A47.  From the southern bypass (A47) take the A146 into the city.  At the traffic lights turn right and follow the outer ring road: Left at the roundabout. Right at the next lights.  Follow the inner ring road round to the right, over the river and the ground is on your right. If in doubt follow signs for the railway station until you get to the river (where the rail station is off to the left and ground on your right). 

Peter Raven says that the best car park for away fans is Norfolk County Hall, which is well sign posted on the left of the A146, as you follow signs towards the ground from the Southern Bypass. It is currently £3 and can hold about 2000 cars, and does usually fill up by 2pm for games where the away team bring loads of fans.

Pubs

Peter Raven suggests that the ground is only a few minutes from the Riverside area with plenty of bars. Squares is home fans only but the Queen of Iceni welcomes away fans….

There is the 'Compleat Angler', which is by the river opposite the railway station (around 5-10 minutes walk from the ground). This pub seems to have now taken over the mantle of the 'away fans pub'. Nicholas Mead suggests; 'the Coach and Horses on Thorpe Road brews its own beer and is around a 10 minute walk away from the ground'.

By Train
The ground is walkable from Norwich train station. If you ignore all those wonderful pubs it should take you around 5-10mins to walk to the ground. From the station turn left and head for the Morrisons supermarket and you should see the ground behind that. 

Train takes approx 3 hours costs £46-30 but last train back is 18-57
