The racecourse is situated to the north of Great Yarmouth towards Caister. From the North and Midlands, it can be reached via the A47. The main approaches from the South are the A11 (joining the A47 South of Norwich) and the A12 via Colchester, Ipswich, and Lowestoft.

Parking is free and plentiful at the racecourse. Just follow the signs as you enter.

A designated area is reserved close to the admissions turnstiles for disabled parking. Early arrival is recommended, particularly on feature racedays, to secure parking in this location. To park in the designated disabled spaces, please advise the stewards if you are an official Blue Badge holder, and please display it prominently. Please be aware that although the car park is on flat land, it can be uneven in places, and consists of a combination of grass and shingle path.
