Mode of Transport

If travelling by car there are clear, permanent (and additional) direction signs to lead you from the motorway and major road networks to the Headingley area.

There are two basic routes to reach Headingley, the first being from the South, avoiding the City Centre, and the second from the North via the Leeds Outer Ring Road.

FROM M1 SOUTH AND THE M62 EAST AND WEST

From the South leave the M1 at Junction 43 to take the M621 as far as Junction 2.

From the M62 West leave at Junction 27 to take the M621 as far as Junction 2.

From the M62 East leave at Junction29 to join the M1

Northbound to take the M621 as far as junction 2

At Junction 2 the M621 follow the signs for Headingley stadium along the A643. These signs will lead you along the Leeds Inner Ring Road A58 to the A660 which is signposted to Skipton and Headingley Stadium. Signs along this road will indicate you have reached the Headingley area and on Test Match and One Day International days additional temporary signage will direct you to the Park & Ride car park north of Headingley at Beckett Park (LS6 3PW).

FROM BRADFORD, KEIGHLEY AND ALL AREAS TO THE NORTH

All routes into Leeds from these areas lead to the Leeds Outer Ring Road, the A6110 – A6120 – A63. Along the Outer Ring Road signposting to Headingley Stadium will lead you to the A660 Otley Road and from here southwards to the Headingley area.
