Carlisle United

Directions

Leave the M6 at junction 43 and take the A69 towards Carlisle. You will after about a mile, see the ground on your right. The club car park (cost £1.50) can be found by taking the first right immediately after Brunton Park into Victoria Place and then turn first right onto St Aidans Road. Otherwise street parking.

Pubs

There is one pub near the ground, 'The Beehive' which is on the main A69 (Warwick Road). The pub allows away supporters in and serves a good pint of Theakstons. Further down the road towards the town centre is the White House, which is more spacious, but won't allow away fans in wearing colours. Otherwise there is the Carlisle Rugby Club next to Brunton Park on the Warwick Road that has a club bar, allows in away supporters and is family friendly. Barrie Mossop recommends another Theakstons House, the Howard Arms, which is on Lowther Street. This is just off Warwick Road, towards the Town Centre, down from the White House. Simon Tunstall adds; 'At the back of the main car park there is the Stoneyholme Golf Club, which has a bar, serves food and welcomes fans on matchdays'. Paul Sawyers adds; 'I would recommend the Lakeland Gate for a drink on match days, which is a family friendly pub'.

By Train
James Prentice informs me; 'Brunton Park is situated about a mile from Carlisle Citadel station, but is relatively easy to get to. Upon exiting the station's main entrance, walk the short distance around The Crescent until reaching Warwick Road. You will be able to see the old Main Stand and the strangely-shaped roofs of the Warwick Road end after walking for about twenty minutes.
