BY TRAIN: Macclesfield railway station is about one and a quarter miles from the Moss Rose ground – about a 20 minute walk away. As you leave the station, at the bottom of the station approach, turn left onto Sunderland Street and follow until the traffic lights at Park Green (War memorial and gardens). Turn left onto Mill Lane (it is probably better to cross onto the opposite side of the road here at the traffic lights) and follow this road which becomes London Road. Just after passing the Catholic Church on the right the ground comes into sight ahead.
You can also catch a bus up to the ground from the new bus station in the town centre.
To reach the bus station from Macclesfield railway station, cross the main road outside the station using the pedestrian crossing, turn right and then turn left by the car showroom into Waters Green and follow this road up the hill (Queen Victoria Street) to the bus station on the left. Buses returning from the ground stop on the main road outside the railway station.

The ground is located on the outskirts of Macclesfield and therefore there is not a tremendous choice of pubs or even a handy chippy. The Golden Lion is the only close pub, about a 10-minute walk from the away turnstiles. The pub is warm and friendly, although it doesn’t do any food. To find the Golden Lion, simply head down Moss Lane, which goes behind the away terrace, and then turn left at the corner of the ground and walk down behind the new stand. Keep straight on this road and you will come to the pub on the left.
If you like your real ale then take the 10-minute walk to The Railway View pub on Byrons Lane. This smallish pub has around six ales on offer including a number of guest beers. They also sell homemade pies. To find this excellent pub follow the A523 from the ground towards Macclesfield town centre. You will pass a pub ‘The Albion’ and then at the next set of traffic lights turn right into Byrons Lane. Just go over the railway bridge and the pub is on the right.
The Albion on London Road going towards the town centre from the ground is also recommended. The pub serves first class real ales and is welcoming towards away fans.
