Macclesfield Town

Directions

Leave the M6 at Junction 17 and turn onto the A534 towards Congleton. On reaching Congleton town centre follow the signs for A54 Buxton. Stay on the A54 for around 5 miles and then turn left on to the A523 towards Macclesfield. You will see the ground on your left after entering the outskirts of Macclesfield. Mostly street parking around and behind the ground and on the A523 itself.

Pubs

The Golden Lion is about a ten minute walk from the away turnstiles. I found the pub warm and friendly, although it didn't do any food which was surprising. There was a 50-50 mix of home and away supporters in this pub on my last visit. 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 Golden Lion on the left.


The Railway View pub on Byrons Lane. This smallish pub has around six ales on offer including a number of guest beers. 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.

Whilst Steve Bennett recommends 'The Albion' on London Road going towards the town centre from the ground. As Steve says; 'The pub serves first class real ales, has a great beer garden and is welcoming towards away fans'.

By Train

Geoff Knights informs me; '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.

Chris Dale adds; 'You can also catch a bus up to the ground from the new bus station in the town centre.
