Getting there

  • Bus from Swansea station — The 4 and 4A run from the city centre to Landore in about 15 minutes.
  • Park and ride — Landore park and ride is beside the ground and is the easiest option by car.
  • Trains from England — Long journeys — from London it is three hours, so an early start or an overnight.
