Aintree is a village and parish in Sefton, Merseyside.
Unusually for racecourses or circuits, the site is split by Melling Road (erroneously referred to every year by the BBC as the Melling Road; it doesn't run to or from Melling) and Grand Prix cars (and Grand National horses) had to cross the (closed!) public road twice on each trip.
The main road from Liverpool to Aintree is the A59 (known as Ormskirk road as it passes through Aintree).
