Bruton Park, how to get there

By Road - Brunton Park is within easy reach of the M6.
Leave the motorway at Junction 43 and take the first exit off the roundabout. The Blue roof of the Cumberland Building Society Stand can be seen on the right hand side, almost as soon as you leave the roundabout.

Keep going straight ahead along Warwick Road (A69).

After passing through the third set of traffic lights the club shop (Blues Store) and Hughie McIlmoyle statue marks the main entrance to the ground.

Car Parking
The Main Car Park (home and away supporters) - Drive on past the ground and for the next set of traffic lights get in to the right hand lane. Turn right at the lights then, after 100 yards, turn right into St Aidans Road. At the end of this road keep right, through the narrow gap and over the hump, in to the main car park. There is also street parking around the ground but this is likely to be restricted once disc parking is introduced.

Coaches other than the Official team coach: From Junction 43 take the first exit off the roundabout. At the third set of traffic lights turn right. Stewards will allow the bus through behind the East Stand for passengers to disembark at the away turnstiles, the bus will then be directed to the car park and allowed back after the game to pick up passengers from the away end. All coaches, other than the official team coach, are charged £10.

By Rail - Carlisle Citadel Station is served by the West Coast Main line, with the station situated in the middle of Carlisle. From the station, walk straight ahead cross Botchergate and walk along the Crescent until you see the entrance to Warwick Road on the right, next to Bar Suede. Brunton Park is about a fifteen minute walk from the entrance to Warwick Road.
