Bootham
Crescent, York YO30 7AQ
If travelling by car
it is advisable to avoid the busy City centre. If for any reason
you should find these details of how to reach Bootham Crescent
inaccurate and of little use then we recommend that you try the RAC
who run an excellent route mapping service which is available
online.
(NB: When
travelling to the Crescent, be sure to allow plenty of time to
find yourself a parking space)

FROM
YORK RAILWAY STATION:
Bootham Crescent is
about a 15 minute walk from York Railway Station. If you don't fancy
the walk then you can travel by taxi for between £2.80 and £3.80.
Alternative methods of transport from York Station
include bus - take the short walk to Rougier Street and then use
'First
York' number 14 which departs Rougier Street at
1415 and
arrives Burton Stone Lane 1425 (for a Saturday 3pm KO. No
service for night games). Alternatively you can get the number 1
(every 10 mins) from the Rail station to Wigginton Road, which
is a 5 minute walk along the pedestrian only Bridge Lane through
the Hospital grounds to the football ground.
If you're happy to take the short walk, then turn left out of the station
into Station Road, past the Royal York Hotel. Take the 1st left
(signposted towards the National Railway
Museum). Follow the road round to the left, passing the Royal Mail
depot on your right. Just before the railway bridge, turn right along pathway
(this pathway is difficult to spot!) and take the footbridge
(Scarborough Bridge) over the river. Once over the river turn
left and take the path between
railway and Marygate car park. At end of car park turn left
through an underpass (under the railway line) and once under the
railway turn right into Bootham Terrace. At Main Road
turn left, cross over using the Pedestrian crossing provided and take the 2nd right into Bootham Crescent,
leading directly to the ground.

Parking: Parking in the area
in and around Bootham Crescent is often very difficult. For
Saturday games you should consider using the City's Park
and Ride scheme on
the outskirts of town to avoid the hassles of looking for a
parking space. The bus will drop you
off at York Station where you can go on to make your own way to
Bootham Crescent (see above).
|
| If you choose to park around Bootham Crescent then you can
use the small 'Mecca Bingo' car park on Burton Stone Lane. You can also use
Union
Terrace, a little further
away from the ground, just off Clarence Street, which will cost
you £3.90 for 3 hours. Marygate
is not far from the ground at the same price. Other than that it's all, more or less,
street parking. Your car will be safe virtually anywhere around
the ground although in the area surrounding the ground,
parking is restricted to residents-only.
Check out the City of York Council's guide to car
parking.
