BY ROAD
To get to Stevenage from Exeter take the M5 north all the way up to the M4 East where you need to travel towards London. You then need to join the M25 clockwise and follow the motorway for a period of time before taking the exit for the A405. Continue along this road before you come to a roundabout and take the third exit for the A414. Follow this road for a while before you meet the A1 which you need to follow before leaving for a main roundabout and the A602 which will take you to the stadium.
BY RAIL
You can take the train from Exeter to get to Stevenage, but this will often require around two changes. If you take the 09:55 service from Exeter St David’s to London Paddington, you then need to take the underground to London King’s Cross. From there you need to take the 13:16 train to Stevenage which gets you there for 13:44. There is around a 1-mile walk from the station to the stadium. Coming back from Stevenage, you can get the 17:47 train and take the reverse route which will get you back to Exeter St David’s for 21:34.
PUBS/FOOD
According to footballgroundguide.com, There is a large club house bar at the ground, behind the south stand, which is popular with both home and away fans alike. Otherwise, there is not much in the way of pubs near to the ground. Still, if you like your real ale then it is worth taking the 15-minute walk to the 'Our Mutual Friend' pub in Broadwater Crescent.
