    John
  • Parking on Army Reserve Centre, Pelham Drive, L30

    Used on Grand National Day. The man who was attending was very helpful and polite. A good 20-30min walk to Aintree race course. Car was in a secure car park so no worries on that score. They had two cars ferrying people to the course for a small fee £5, easy to find and easy to get out. Would recommend
