Leave Skelmersdale and head south down the M6. Cross the Thelwall Viaduct and carry on south

Leave the M6 at Junction 19 and turn 270 degrees toward Northwich.

After around 0.75 miles at the traffic lights turn left toward Macclesfield/Knutsford.

You will then cross the M6 and pass the back entrance to Knutsford Services on your right.

Go into Knutsford and follow the signs A537/ Macclesfield.

You will pass through the villages of Chelford and Monk’s Heath and eventually you will enter Macclesfield.

Follow the signs A537/Buxton through Macclesfield (this will take around 15 minutes on a Saturday, so be patient).

You will leave Macclesfield up a hill and will go onto the Cat & Fiddle Pass. Beware there are at least 2 sets of radar cameras on this road.
After around 9 miles (on the outskirts of Buxton), bear left onto the A54.

After around 1.5 miles you will reach a T-Junction. Turn Left onto the A53.

You will pass the Pavilion Gardens on your right and will then reach a roundabout

Turn right at the roundabout and head up the hill keeping the big Church on your right, ignoring the town centre shops on your left.
At the top of the hill you will be an area known as The Market Square
You will see Jo Royle Camping on your left. Turn Left alongside the shop, then behind the shop turn immediately left.

Follow the road for approximately 500 yards to the ground which is opposite the Police Station.

Parking is on the road, but you can park right outside if you are early enough.

The ground is covered on three sides and has a substantial stand.

There is also a decent social club on the ground. The tea bar is pretty good, too.

According to Trip Advisor Bill’s Fish & Chips at SK17 7BL is quite good (doesn’t get top marks, but no really bad ones); I have not been there myself though. Fairfield Plaice, 159 Victoria Park Road, Buxton SK17 7PE gets a very good rating but is further from the ground. Last season I went to the Coach House Chippy in the Market Square (by Jo Royle Camping). Although it isn’t the best chippy I have ever been in it was very good and I think it is open all afternoon the post code is SK17 6EF
