https://community.betfair.com/aintree2011/go/thread/view/121613/27403341/parking-at-aintreeHi there........I'm driving to Aintree for Fridays meeting, will be arriving approx 12noon, and was wondering if anyone has any tips on where would be the best place to park? Never been there myself.Thankshttps://community.betfair.com/aintree2011/go/thread/view/121613/27403341/parking-at-aintree?post_id=491633109#491633109Even better, park in the Valentine pub car park next to the shops on Altway. They won't care as long as you have a pint.Wed, 06 Apr 2011 16:32:15 -0500https://community.betfair.com/aintree2011/go/thread/view/121613/27403341/parking-at-aintree?post_id=491632925#491632925I live in Aintree, on Altway (L10 6LE). The police block the ends of the road off sometmes (defo Saturday) - just drive past them saying you are a resident, drive down a side street and park.5 mins walk to the course.Wed, 06 Apr 2011 16:30:20 -0500https://community.betfair.com/aintree2011/go/thread/view/121613/27403341/parking-at-aintree?post_id=491594621#491594621Four good looking boyo's with south wales accents - can't see you lads getting back to Cardiff till at least Sunday - the girls will 'gobble' you up.
