Basic directions;
Head toward the A1 and go south to London/Stevenage. Leave the A1 at exit 6 for the A1000 and take the first exit from the junction roundabout. Keep right to turn right at the next round about, signed A1000 W.G.C. and QE2 Hospital. Go straight over two roundabouts then take the first exit at the third one, continuing to follow signs for QE2 Hospital. Keep right to stay on this road as it goes around the large building on the right, once around the building, take the left hand turning onto Herns Way. The entrance to the ground is on the left, before the roundabout. The car park should be large enough to accommodate this fixture.
