How to get there:

CAR: From the M180 motorway, exit following signs for 'Scunthorpe West and Centre' onto the M181. After two miles where the motorway ends at the roundabout with Scunthorpe United FC's ground and Tesco on the right, go straight on, signposted A1077 Winterton. Go straight on at the Skippingdale roundabout, signposted A1077 Burton-upon-Stather, and then go straight on again at the Foxhills roundabout. At the next roundabout, turn left onto Normanby Road, signposted B1430 Burton-upon-Stather & Normanby. The track is on the right at the next roundabout. There is a car park at the stadium (£1).
TRAIN: The nearest railway station is Scunthorpe, on the Doncaster to Cleethorpes line, but be aware that a recent landslide on the line at Stainforth means that a replacement bus service is currently in operation between Scunthorpe and Doncaster and is likely to remain in force until at least the end of June.
BUS: Buses from Scunthorpe Bus Station to Burton or Flixborough pass the track.
TAXI: A taxi from Scunthorpe railway station to the track should cost around £7.
