I just thought it may be a good idea to get some feedback from as to the best routes to get to Malvern due to lroads being closed.
We noramlly get off the M5 at junction 7 and then take A4440 then the A449 which takes us straight to Malvern. I have been told that it is not accessible this way.
Anyone have any suggestion for an alternative route.

Tahnks for that - I feel a bit more at ease now. I hate getting lost (which I do on a regular occurance) I panic that I wont get the trailer turned round again.

Thanks for that! As i come from the south, i go on the A303 (i think) at swindon from the M4. It cuts of the M4/M5 corner and saves me alot of time! At the end of the A303 its virtually at the M5, i cant remember the road but u go down a great big dip just before you get on the M5, and then get of the M5 at the M50, go along 1 junct and go on the roads that way.

Not the A303...that runs down the bottom of Wiltshire. From Junc 15 of M4, which is the Swindon east junc, you take the by-pass along the A419, take the A417 at Cirencester it is signed M5, down Birdlip Hill to Junc 11A of M5, think it is 1 or 2 juncs to M50, this does however take you through Upton on Severn which was very flooded....the river runs right along side of road, so do not know if this way will be open. Hope this helps

Hope this helps After consoltation with the map you are correct! I only make the journey once a year and so don't ever remeber road names etc lol. Thanks for the Hint- i never realised that it went though Upton upon Severn!
