    This any help?

    From Burnley Official Site.


    How To Get There:
    By Road:
    From the North and South:
    Exit M6 at Junction 29 and onto the M65. Exit the M65 at junction 10 and follow signs for 'Towneley Hall.' This road eventually goes past Turf Moor.

    From the East:
    Exit M65 at junction 12 and follow signs to 'Burnley North A682,' over two roundabouts and into Colne Road. After 1.5 miles, turn left at the lights into Casterton Avenue. After another half mile, go straight on at another roundabout, follow signs for 'Rochdale A6114,' into Eastern Avenue. After 1.5 miles, you will be on Belvedere Road and the stadium is there.

    From the West:
    Exit M65 motorway at junction 9 (Signposted Halifax A679) and turn right at the first roundabout, over the motorway. Go to thesecond roundabout and take a left, still following signs for Halifax and onto Accrington Road. After ¾ of a mile, go left at the traffic lights, into Rossendale Road. Follow for another 1.5 miles and then go straight on through the traffic lights into Glen View Road. After another mile, turn left into Todmorden Road, where you will find Turf Moor.

    By Rail:
    The nearest station is Burnley Manchester Road. From here, exit the station and walk down Centenary Way, from here, Turf Moor is clearly visible. When you reach the roundabout at the bottom of the road, go right down Yorkshire Street, which becomes Harry Potts Way and the ground is on your left hand side.

    From Burnley Central, follow signs for the Town Centre and then head left towards the Gala Bingo Hall. From here, walk down Yorkshire Street and use instructions from above.

    By Bus:
    Bus Routes: The Bus Station is situated relatively close to the ground, just off Centenary Way. Leave the station and turn right towards the Gala Bingo Hall and go under the aqueduct onto Yorkshire Street. Then, follow the instructions from above.

    Parking:
    Most of the surrounding streets have parking restrictions on a matchday (Saturday and Tuesday), so it is advisable for away supporters to use the Cricket Club on Belvedere Road or the car parks and road spaces further up Belvedere Road.

    Around The Ground:
    Friendly Pubs:
    The Queen Victoria. This a Brewers Fayre establishment and used regularly by away supporters. It can be found on Belvedere Road, past the Cricket Club. The local police advise that away supporters avoid the town centre pubs or any in close vicinity to the ground.

    Local Eateries:
    The Queen Victoria, as above. There are a number of fast food chains in the town centre and chippies and take-aways on Yorkshire Street.

    Towneley Hall. This is a stately home situated near to the stadium. There is a park, golf course and museum there.

    Gawthorpe Hall: Stately home, where Burnley FC's training ground is based.

    M1 North</p>

    J42 take M62 West to J18 (M60)</p>

    Turn right onto M60 and follow signs for Burnley M65 (via A56)</p>

    Take M65 (right) towards burnley and come off at exit 10.</p>



    Follow signs for Townley Hall and you will go past Turf Moor.</p>

    For drinks use The Victoria on Belvedere Road. Away fan friendly and a good pint too.</p>



    Hope that helps.</p>

    RE: thanks guys but

    At that time of night I would advise sticking to the motorway route. Longer but quicker. The ground is signposted from the M65. From memory once you leave the M62 at Bury onto the M66 it's sigposted Burnley 18 miles. Make sure you don't miss the turn off for Burnley on the M66. It's down the bottom of a hill and very easy to miss if you are clogging on in the outside lane. Assuming you do find it, as you exit the motorway onto the 'slip road' make sure you are in the right hand lane as the left lane takes you away from the Burnley road.
