Travelling to Gloucester by road
Gloucester enjoys a fairly easy-to-access location just off the M5 motorway, roughly equidistant between Birmingham and Bristol.
If your accommodation is in the centre of Gloucester, leave the motorway at junction 11A and follow signs towards the town. For other locations, it’s worth having a look at an online travel planning tool such as the AA Route Planner to check the best possible route.
Parking in Gloucester can sometimes be a challenge so it’s worth clarifying what arrangements are available at your accommodation before you set off.
