Walk away from the station (Station Road) and take the first road on the right, (Tenison Road). Take the first road again on the right, (Devonshire Road), follow this round to the left, up to the next junction. Turn right - again - onto Mill Road. Walk over the railway bridge, then take the third road on the left, (Sedgewick Street). Follow this road, pass a set of traffic calming barriers, and shops (at this point you are in Cromwell Road) to a T-junction, (Coldham's Lane). Ahead of you should be a large field (Coldham's Common). Go into this field and follow a path under a railway bridge to the away turnstiles.
If you arrive by rail there are buses from the station into the town centre every eight minutes, where you can catch a bus to the ground. Alternatively, if you prefer to walk to the buses, walk straight out of the station and take the first right. The buses for Ditton Walk go past the ground in Newmarket Road are 3 and 3A. These run past the ground after the games when they end in the afternoon (i.e. 4:45 pm). But you will need bus no.93 after an evening game.
