Leave the M5 at Junction 3 and take the A456 towards Stourbridge and Kidderminster. In about five miles, turn right at traffic lights in Hagley to pick up the A491 into Stourbridge, then follow the A491 through Pedmore and Oldswinford onto the Stourbridge Ring-Road (one-way). Follow the ring-road round past the Crystal Leisure Centre and Tesco Extra on your right and then get in the left-hand lane signposted for Wolverhampton A491. As the ring-road dips, take the A491 exit and in about 400 yards the ground shortly come into view on the left hand side of the road by a new housing development.

Car parking facilities lie on the left through the archway opposite Vets For Pets.

The turnstiles for entrance to the ground for spectators are opposite Amblecote church.

In just over a mile, go left at a roundabout to join the A449 dual carriageway towards Wolverhampton. In about 8 miles go right to join the Wolverhampton Ring-Road (A4150)and follow signs for Kidderminster A449, heading past Molineux in the process. Go straight over the Chapel Ash roundabout. At the large Penn Road Roundabout, take the A449 exit for Kidderminster (by Mercedes Benz Wolverhampton dealership)and head through Penn and then past exits for Wombourne and later head by the Himley Cricket Club ground until you reach Wall Heath. At the roundabout where the A449 meets the A491 take the first exit for the A491 towards Stourbridge for around 4 miles. Follow this road through the centres of Kingswinford, Wordsley and Amblecote.

The War Memorial Athletic Ground lies on the right on the approach to Stourbridge Ring-Road, just past Magnet and Stourminster Motor House (Vauxhall dealers).
