I am going from poole in dorset to Haverfordwest in west wales tomorrow. The journey once i get into wales is pretty straight forward but what if the funest way to get to the severn bridge?

 

the options

 

- A35 costal road all the way over to exeter and then get on the M5 but that sounds long and boring.

 

- A350 up through Blandford all the way to Warminster then go past bath to bristol. Used the A350 before and didnt find it particularly inspiring and can be slow in the single lane bits.

 

- get to Dorch on the A35 go on some random a roads up through somerset. never taken this route before but could be a slow one.

 

Can anyone recommend some good roads in the SW that i could link up to get to Bristol whilst still not being too long a journey?

 

PS this would have been a good thread to add to the section i suggested adding a while back of 'recommended roads and routes'.

if you come down a37 signposted yeovil loads of places to open out the zed then at top where says yeovil junction head for sign that says yeovilton museum then loads of random backroads eventually to junction 23 m5 then upto 18 you can even visit swz on the way

Hi Giant Slayer - Are you not coming via Swindon to collect the wheel+tyre I've sorted out for you?

It gets a little boring on the welsh motorway but you can spice things up a little by taking the "old" severn bridge.

Just peel off onto the M48 and it will take you over the bridge and allow you to join the M4 soon afterwards.

This is a 2 lane motorway that has little to no traffic on it. Great fun if you want to open the throttle!

 

There are some craking roads around haverfordwest. just keep an eye out for tractors! LOL...
