By Train:
Basingstoke Station is based next to the town centre, about 1.5 miles from the Camrose. It is easily accessible from London Waterloo, Reading, Southampton, and the West Country. The ground can be reached in three ways:
By foot:
(approx. 30-40 min walk) Walk straight out of the station and down the steps towards the road. Cross the road and go into the Malls shopping centre, next to Sainsbury's. Continue straight ahead passing Primark, Boots, WH Smith's, Pound Land and New Look. You will reach some doors that go into the Festival Place shopping centre. Go through these and continue straight ahead again, passing Marks & Spencers, Zara and Gregs Bakery. Continue straight ahead past Madhouse and Gamestation. You will reach another set of doors that lead out of Festival Place. Go through these and take the walkway on the right that passes Sony and Barclays Bank.
Head all the way up the hill in front of you passing The Haymarket Theatre. You will reach a square which contains McDonalds and the old town hall. Take the turning to your right (Not back down the other side of the town hall) and go past The Bakers Arms pub, Maidenhead Inn (Weatherspoons) and Bar Rock. You should now meet a junction with some traffic lights. Go straight ahead at these towards Dominos Pizza. Take Winchester Road that goes to the left of Dominos and continue down the road passing Scottish & Southern Energy. After 600 yards you will pass the King Of Wessex Pub. Continue along Winchester Road until you reach Winchester Road Roundabout.
Go straight over at the Roundabout using the underpasses provided (Make sure you come up on the right hand side of Winchester Road). Carry on straight ahead and you should see B&Q on the opposite side of the road and The Camrose main stand straight ahead in the distance. Continue to follow the road straight ahead, eventually passing behind the main stand. There is a walkway and some steps through the fence on the right that go into The Camrose car park. The Clubhouse is straight ahead.
By bus:
(approx. 10-15 min ride) There is a bus stop at the bottom of the steps outside the train station. Catch the Number 1 bus to Hatch Warren/ Kempshott Park (Not the Number 1 to Chineham!) and ask the driver for The Camrose or Brighton Hill Retail Park. It is easiest to get off at the Bus Stop before the Camrose at B&Q as it is easier and quicker to cross the road at the pedestrian crossing. Press the stop bell at Winchester Road Roundabout to alert the driver to stop. If returning to the train station from The Camrose then get the Number 1 to Chineham from the stop just outside the ground on Winchester Road. The bus stops outside the station. The bus runs every 15 minutes at peak times (Weekdays and Saturdays). If travelling this way for an evening fixture or for more information, you can view the timetable here.
By Taxi:
(approx. 5-10 min ride) Walk out of the train station. On your left is a taxi rank with a number of Hackney Carriages. Ask the driver for The Camrose. Fare should be about £6.
