The Core

Driving to The Core

The easiest way to drive to The Core is by using the city’s ring road.

From the M621 you can either use Junction 4 or Junction 2 and then loop around the city centre. 

This is usually easier than using Junction 3 and driving through the city centre, as previous routes are likely to have changed and in some instances may now be closed to private vehicles.

• From M621 Junction 4 - follow the A61 and use the right-hand lanes to move onto East Street and then Marsh Lane, before joining the A64(M) ring road westbound. Exit the A64(M) as directed by permanent signage to the First Direct Arena. Turn left onto A660 Woodhouse Lane and then Albion St, following the road into the city centre and towards the car park.

This route is shown as an orange line on the map below. 
 

• Alternatively, leave the M621 at Junction 2 and follow the A643 before joining the A58 and the A58(M) Inner Ring Road, before exiting for the A660. Turn right onto Blackman Lane and then Woodhouse Lane, following this onto Albion St and into the city centre towards the car park. 

This route is shown as a purple line on the map below.
