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.
