BY ROAD
To get to the New Lawn from Exeter you have to take the M5 to junction 13, where you exit the motorway onto the A419 towards Stroud. Go straight over three roundabouts and, after joining the A46, follow signs to Bath and Nailsworth. When you get to Nailsworth town centre, turn right at the mini roundabout into Spring Hill. Go over one roundabout and then turn left at the second roundabout into The New Lawn.
PARKING
Parking is available at the neighbouring school, within easy walking distance (90m) from the stadium, at £5 per vehicle (card only) but spaces are limited and it is a first-come, first-serve basis.
If you choose to park in the local residential area, please park with consideration for our neighbours and adhere to local parking enforcement. Please be aware that Parking Enforcement Officers patrol the area on a matchday.
Parking at the stadium is reserved for pre-booked guests only (hospitality and Blue Badge holders).
PARK AND RIDE
The Park and Ride system that is normally in place for our trip to the New Lawn is not in operation this season as our fixture falls on New Year's Day.
BY RAIL
You can catch the 10.54am train on New Year's Day, that changes at Cheltenham Spa, to get into Stroud 1.28pm. Stroud is the nearest station to the New Lawn and from Merrywalks Shopping Centre, a short walk from the train stations, you can catch the number 63 bus and this takes around half an hour to get to the stadium.
You can view the full route on the Stagecoach website.
