TRAVELING TO WESTON - super - Mare
By Rail and Air
The nearest Railway Station is “Weston Milton”. Although most local services stop here, unless you have arranged a ‘pick-up’, you are advised to use the main Weston-super-Mare station at all times. Why not visit our Club by air? Affordable flights are available into the local Bristol International Airport from most regional airports in the UK and Ireland.
By Road (Coach and Car) < CLICK ON TITLE FOR ROUTES INTO WESTON
Weston-super-Mare is close to the M5 Motorway, offering good connections with the Midlands and South-West of England. Additionally, the M4 Motorway crosses the M5 just North-West of Bristol, and the M4 connects with South Wales (£5.20 toll westwards only), North Wiltshire, Berkshire, and Greater London. On the M5, leave at Junction 21 if travelling from the North, or Junction 22 if travelling from the South.
From the South, the A36 (Southampton) and A37 (Dorchester) provide reasonable connection, although roads east of Weston are poor around the Mendip area; whilst having the appearance of a reasonably direct road, both roads from Bath (A368) and Wells (A371) are narrow and twisty in places, and should be avoided with coaches. Your route with a coach should be either to head North and use the M4, or head West using the A303 and A358 to Taunton, joining the M5 at Junction 25
Car Parking
It will not be possible to park inside Ashcombe Park, unless special arrangements have been made with the Council for the match, but there is some road-side parking immediately past the Park entrance. Parking on the opposite side of the road is somewhat limited, although residential streets provide adequate road-side parking places. Coaches will normally be able to off-load immediately outside the Park entrance.
Coaches may park just past the Park entrance, or park at the top of the Park (continue along road, out of town, through Milton, and turn left at traffic controlled cross roads. At end of road, at the top of the hill, turn left, and continue to Park on left. Park here, and driver may walk down through Park to the Club ground. After the match, take the road immediately past the Park (Ashcombe Park Road), on your left, down the hill to the main Milton Road. Turn left, and Ashcombe Park entrance is a short distance on your left.
