TRAVELLING TO THE AJN STADIUM
Car
From Ipswich the likely route is the A12 / M25 anticlockwise (towards M11/M1/Stansted Airport/Watford) / M4. At Junction 18 of the M4 take the A46 signposted Bath / Stroud. At the Tormarton Interchange, take the 1st exit onto A46.
Continue on the A46. Turn right into Gorse Lane. At the junction with the A420 turn right onto the A420 to Bristol Rd/A4175 in Keynsham. After about 3.6 miles, at the roundabout, take the 1st exit onto the A4175. Follow the A4175 to the roundabout with the A431. Turn right at this roundabout onto the A431. At the next roundabout, take the 1st exit onto Keynsham Rd/A4175. At the next roundabout, take the 2nd exit onto Bristol Rd/A4175. Go straight over at the next roundabout and you will see the Rugby Club on the right and the Crown Inn on the left. The AJN Stadium is on the right next to the Rugby Club.
www.googlemaps.co.uk suggests it will take around 4 hours to 4 hours 30 minutes depending on traffic conditions. We generally recommend allowing at least an hour beyond the AA / Google / Sat Nav suggested journey time.
