Chesterfield

Directions

Leave the M1 at Junction 29 and take the A617 towards Chesterfield. On reaching the edge of the town centre go straight across the first roundabout and then the next, passing the famous Chesterfield Church with the crooked spire on your left. As the road divides, keep to your left, going around an open car park. This road leads into Saltergate, where you will pass the Barley Mow pub on your left and the Town Hall car park, before reaching the ground down on your right. 

I parked in the Town Hall council car park on Saltergate (£2.40 for four hours) and walked the relatively short distance (five minutes) to the ground. There seemed to be plenty of other car parks in the town centre to choose from.

Pubs

The Barley Mow in Saltergate is worth a visit as they have scantily clad barmaids serving the beer. For once it was a pleasure to wait at the bar to be served! Away Supporters as well as 'The County' pub which is across the road from the Barley Mow. Tricia Hastings recommends the Market Tavern in the town centre, which apparently is a good real ale outlet. Derek Hall a visiting Hartlepool United fan adds; 'Another cracking pub for away fans, is the appropriately named Chesterfield Arms. Coming out of the away end, it is a right turn, then turn first left. No more than a five minute walk away. It also next door to a pub called The Industry, which is also popular with away fans'.

By Train

Chesterfield railway station is walkable from the ground and takes around ten minutes. Just follow the road out of the station (Corporation Street), and go straight across a big roundabout and you will find yourself on Saltergate. The ground is on your right. Thanks to Kevin Finney for providing the directions above.
