  • Walk from city centre — A scenic but longer walk past the city walls and out towards Monks Cross.
  • Driving — A1237 ring road then follow signs to Monks Cross; the retail park has plenty of parking.

    Community-owned historic pub in the city centre away from the main tourist trail.

Transport alert

Bank holiday network works

Easter and the May bank holidays are the heaviest engineering weekends of the year. May trips into York should be planned around a possible line closure.

Ground note

The ground is well out of the historic centre on a retail park — allow time for the bus if walking from the station.

Ground note

York's tourist crowds can make the city-centre streets slow going before you even set off for the ground.
