Driving in and around Gloucester
Surrounded by beautiful countryside, Gloucester is a lovely place to drive. It’s also really well connected, with two nearby motorways and a plethora of A-roads connecting you with neighbouring towns and cities.
You’re only a short drive from Cheltenham, east along the A40, which skirts the northern edge of Gloucester. The same road will also take you west to Ross-on-Wye and the gorgeous Wye Valley.
Just east of the town, the M5 runs north to south, hugging the sides of the Cotswolds as it links Worcester and Birmingham to the north with Bristol to the south. Continue on the same motorway for the west country – it ends in Exeter. For a more scenic route to Bristol you can also take the A38. The M50 runs to the north of Gloucester and can be reached along the A417 – you’ll join it just south of the Malvern Hills.
If your Gloucester van hire takes you across the Cotswolds, you can enter them to the south-east of town on the A417. Numerous scenic B-roads splinter off from this, or you can join the A436 to find connections to the eastern side of the Cotswolds.
The revitalised docks and quayside are in the west of town, home to numerous shopping areas, as well as museums and some of the oldest buildings in Gloucester. On St. Oswald’s Road in the north of town, you’ll pass many landmarks – including St. Oswald’s Priory, close to the cathedral, and the rugby stadium – but you’ll also find branches of Argos and B&Q, where Gloucester van hire may be required.
Note that the main shopping streets in the centre are pedestrianised, and there are some one-way roads. You’ll find ample parking, however, such as Hare Lane South Car park close to the cathedral, Ladybellegate near to the docks, and plenty of space near St. Oswalds Retail Park.
