Travel Information – Distance: 199 miles

By Road:
The furthest route in distance, but usually the fastest in time; head north on the A1 all the way for many miles until you reach the M62. Take the westbound M62 towards Leeds and Manchester. You'll be on here for more than 37 miles; until you reach Junction 18 in fact.

Here, take the exit for the Bury-bound M66. After only two-and-a-half miles, however, you'll be leaving the motorway at Junction 2 (A58). Take the second exit on the roundabout; the first being for a hotel. Continue on for around half a mile, before making a left turn onto the B6219.

Go straight over the next two roundabouts and continue as the road goes round a sharp-ish bend to the right. Then, at the next roundabout, it's the second exit (or a left) onto Market Street. Take the second exit (a right) at the next roundabout and you're onto Gigg Lane. The ground is up here on the left.

Located to the north of Manchester, the best way to get to Bury starts with a voyage on the northbound M1 however you prefer to cross the M1/A1 corridor before joining the M6. Once on the M6, continue north for more than 100 miles before departing at J21A for the M62 - signposted Leeds, Bolton and Manchester. Less than 10 miles later - at J12 - switch to the M60 for Leeds and Bolton.

Leave the M60 at J17 for the A56 and follow signs at the roundabout for Whitfield A56, Radcliffe (A665) and Bury A56. Continue through traffic lights before turning right just after the Bull's Head for Bury A56. Keep going towards the town centre for about two miles before turning right for the football ground. Gigg Lane is usually closed on matchdays.
