Distance using M1, M42 and M5
134miles and will take approx 2 hours 28 minutes.
BY CAR:
From the North (M5): Leave M5 at Junction 13 (s/p Stroud A419). Follow A419 to Stroud, and then on meeting A46, follow signs for 'Bath, Nailsworth A46'. After 2-3 miles you'll pass the Crown Inn on the RHS, then a petrol station on the left-hand side. In the centre of Nailsworth there's one mini-roundabout; turn right into Spring Hill. Go up hill and continue along this road, which becomes Nympsfield Road, for approx 900 yards. The ground is on the left-hand side at the new roundabout.
From the East (M4): Leave M4 at Junction 18, follow A46 directly to Nailsworth and at mini-roundabout turn left up Spring Hill, then directions as from North.
FROM RAILWAY STATION (Stroud): Trains: Run to Gloucester and Swindon. Change at Gloucester for Bristol and the South-West, South Wales, Birmingham and the North. Change at Swindon for Reading, London (Paddington), plus Bristol and the South-West.
On foot: It's at least four miles from Stroud Town centre. By taxi: Around £6-7, journey time 10-15 mins.
By bus: Bus 93, run by Stagecoach Stroud Valleys, runs from Stroud Bus Station (5 minutes' walk from the railway station, through the Merrywalks shopping centre) to Nailsworth and Forest Green at 30 minute intervals. Call Stagecoach on (01453) 763 421 for further information. Note: you may need a taxi back to Stroud after a midweek match.
PARKING There are three separate car parking areas at the new stadium which can cater for 250+ cars. Should there be a need for extra parking then there is plenty of on street parking in close proximity to the ground.
Alternatively, you can park for free in Nailsworth town centre and catch a bus or walk up the hill (not a good idea unless you are used to extreme exercise!).
Were to drink
The Green Man, based on-site at The New Lawn stadium complex, 'The Green Man' is Forest Green Rovers F.C.'s very own public house… and the venue for watching live sport in Nailsworth.
A large-screen projection TV, and two 42inch High Definition screens, ensure that you won't miss a minute of the match action during a screened match or event, while our skittle alley, pool table and three dart boards offer you the chance to create entertainment of your own.
On a match day, landlady Paula Brown welcomes both home and away fans for pre and post-game pints, with a friendly atmosphere guaranteed - whatever the score!
