DIRECTIONS

By Road
Take A46 to City Centre on the High Road and the ground is sign-posted from there.

If you follow signs for “Away Coaches” you will end up on the A158, where there is street parking and is a 10 minute walk to the ground.

Parking is available in the South Common car park (post code LN5 8LN) and is pay on the day, costing about £4.  It is 5-10 minutes walk to the ground.

There are City of Lincoln car parks around the city and the club direct you to the Tentecroft Street car park.  Here is a Google Map of parking available in the city.

By Train
Lincoln Central Railway Station is a 15 minute walk from the ground.
Turn left out of the station and walk to the traffic lights at St. Mary’s Church.
Turn left at the lights which takes you onto High Street and continue on over the level crossing for about 10 minutes, then turn left onto Scorer Street.
You will reach a bridge over a river and after this turn right onto Sincil Bank, when you will see the ground ahead of you.
Alternatively, a shorter route is available if you turn right out of the station onto St. Mary’s Street, which turns into Oxford Street and after 30m you will see a slope/steps to a bridge on your right.  If you cross over the railway line on the bridge and on the other side you need to walk to your left and then turn right onto a service road just before the flyover and you are facing Cross Street (across the road in front of you which is the E-W Link Road).  Follow Cross Street down to the ground.
