Getting here is easy

By Bike

Cycling is a relatively cheap form of transport, it helps to keep you fit and healthy and is emission free – making it good for everyone!

Norwich has seven colour-coded cycle routes known as pedalways. These key routes – totalling 58 miles – have been colour coded on a Norwich Cycle Map and corresponding stickers have been placed along the routes to help cyclists find their way.

We have 62 bike racks outside the Sportspark entrance for customer use.

By Car

From London take the M11/A11; just outside Norwich take the A47 (Southern Bypass) in the direction of Swaffham; the University is signposted off at the next exit.

If you are driving from the North or the Midlands, you can use the A47 via King’s Lynn, or the new A14 as far as Newmarket and then take the A11 to Norwich.

UEA is situated on the outskirts of Norwich, around two and a half miles west of the city centre, just off the Earlham Road (B1108) which is one of the main roads out of the city. Have a look at our parking section to see what to do when you arrive.
