There are various ways of getting to the church, but for anyone that doesn’t know York, this is a straightforward way from A59.
- Turn right onto York Outer Ring Road A1237
- Cross over next roundabout [Wetherby Road].
- Take second exit at next roundabout, signposted Woodthorpe.
- Continue on this road, crossing a mini roundabout taking you across railway line. Must be approx 1-2 miles.
- At next big roundabout turn left onto A1036, signposted York. This is called Tadcaster Road.
- Continue on Tadcaster Road towards York, over traffic lights [by St Edwards Church].
- Racecourse is on your Right. At end of Racecourse turn right by white fencing. There is a right turn arrow for you, but the turning is not particularly clear. There are brown signs to Racecourse.
- Racecourse is now on your right with Little Knavesmire [more green space] on your left.
- There is a left bend in road, Terrys factory is visible, and after bend St Chad’s is on left after a few hundred yards.
- Park in car park or on road.
St Chads was built of red brick in 1920’s so don’t be looking out for stone towers or spires!!
{If coming down A19 turn right onto York Outer Ring Road, go over two roundabouts and proceed as above].
