I'm moving to Looe in Cornwall in the next couple of days. I'm currently living in Warlingham, a few miles south of Croydon.
Should I take the M4/M5 or would M3/A303 be better?
I'll have an omega full of animals and other stuff. ;D
Thanks for any advice. :y
-
Try the aa route finder :y

M3/A303 is a more interesting route, certainly. Most of the 303 is dual carriageway. I think the only bit that's not these days is the few miles either side of Stonehenge.
M4/M5 is quite a bit further and boring!
I think the 303 is good enough these days that I wouldn't bother going M4/M5.
If you want a leg stretch along the way, I can recommend both the Fleet Air Arm museum and the Haynes motor museum. Both are right on the A303 in the Yeovil area and about half way for you, I'd imagine. :y
-
M4/M5 for me everytime on my trips back to Oxfordshire, mind you that's more to do with my need to "press on", ::) A303 is, as said, a much less boring route :y

Yes 140mph would be fun. ;D

Thanks Pete. They recommend A303. :y

If your not in a rush take the A303 as it's a nice drive, although as has already been pointed out there are a few stretches of single carriageway which can get congested.... ::)
You'll also have get into the dialect Kate if your going to live in Kernow, you should be asking for 'drek-shuns' ! ;)
So take the A303 as you'll be there drekly! :D ;D
-
A303 can be an absolute horror if you do not get your time right. As a regular visitor to family in Cornwall the safest bet for me has been M4 M5 Roughly 3 hours 45 mins. Using 303 i did once do 3 hours 15 mins leaving at 7.15 pm. But also had a mammoth one with Stonehenge etc

I agree :y
Kate I covered the whole of the South and South West on business for 15 years, so travelled 100's of thousands of miles and my experience was that from Croydon to South Cornwall / Looe I would always go M25, M4, M5, A38, then choose the best local route South to wherever you are moving to in Looe. :y
-
A303, take in the sights, stop along the way, lots to see, make day of it and you'll love it :y
-
I''ve family in Plymouth, and have been going there from Kent for over 40 years. I''ve been driving professionally for some time now, and wouldn't even consider the M4.
M3, A303, M5 before Taunton past Exeter, and A38 into Plymouth. That's a 4 hour trip, Chatham to Keyham. There's less than 10 miles past Stonehenge that isn't dual carriageway. Using the M4 adds 70 miles, which is an hour extra no matter how you look at it.
If you need a stop, then Haynes museum at Sparkford is worth a visit and is halfway.

Oh I can't decide now. ;D

A303 is a bloody ridiculous road. Roundabouts every 1/2 mile. Single carriageway by stone henge and every bugger in a caravan wants to stop and have a look. It might be a shorter route, but its by no means a fast route.
Horses for courses though. Some family members are scared stiff of motorways, to the point they'll happily take 6 hours to drive from Epsom via the 303 instead of the m4 or m5 in 4 hours to wade bridge. Wadebridge from here in 3hours, yet Dartmouth which is nearer took over 4 hours via the 303.
There's another option following the m3 all the way down to Sputhampton and turn right through the new forest, but I've never been that way and google maps says its half hour longer than the 303.
My thoughts for you though, with a car full of pets. Keep the ship steady on the m4/5 and take a longer but quicker and more economical route with cruise set, and stop at the services for the pets for a break brake. ;)
303 is a good place to have an accident with all those roundabouts/side exits/dual carriageway slip roads that are too short for some people. I've rarely encountered such bad driving in one journey that on the 303. Avoid IMO.
-
good luck down there Kate I love looe bay and Cornwall, wish my Mrs would move as I can transfer with work if I wanted to are place in Callington.
Think I will have to take the Mrs to see a shrink she says there's nothing to do there, emm beaches, country walks, Plymouth 20 minutes away for her clothes shopping
-
Note Kate that those who are advising avoiding the A303 are all Home Counties/Rat Race types who want to get there as soon as possible and for them the destination is more important than the journey! :P ::) ;D
The A303 is one of my favourite drives, the bit through Wiltshire has some stunning scenery and yes there are a few pinch points which can be a nightmare (usually on a summer Saturday!) but usually its fine. I've done it many times and to be honest I wouldn't even bother going up to Taunton to get on the M5, just keep on going until the A303 turns into the A30 and you'll find yourself at the M5 at Exeter. Enjoy! 8)
-
i always use the a303 when i goto Dorset on my holibobs, i do the last 30 miles or so cross country....to drop down to Bridport....and i live about 20miles from it.....110 miles in 2hrs 15mins...usually....not a bad av speed.....considering about 50 miles of it are A roads/B roads :y
-
I see the country bumpkins are getting involved. Chewing on straw and drinking cider makes the brain operate slowly. You want to get there quick and no stops. Avoid 303 if you are travelling at the same time as the masses wanting to chop 40 miles off the journey but sit in queues. Make sure you have decent sat nav / traffic reports

Admins: Any chaaaaance of one of they straw chewing smileeees? ::) :y
-
Kate my advice being a man of the West Country with family in Essex would be m4/m5 every time as 303 is rubbish for service stations IMHO and also too many roundabouts but good for a quick drift if you feel like it ;D ;D

It crap for clothes shopping. I would head up to Exeter myself and I live in plymouth :y

If you don't like the A303 or caravans don't go through the new forest, FFS! ;D

Ah, so its you holding the country up is it? Get on with it man! Plodding along looking in the mirror more than where they're going thinking, "why are all these people following me? Bloody idiots." ;D
-
Thanks for all the advice. :y Hilarious. ;D ;D ;D
I've got 2 dogs and 3 cats so maybe the quickest route would be best. The cats are the worst as if they get out of the carrier you end up driving along with a cat on your head. ;D
It looks like I'll be leaving on Sunday morning so which would be the quickest?
-
M4/m5 on a Sunday. Too many slow drivers on 303 on weekends :y
-
You are moving to a new house,need to bee there at a dececnt time,as you might need some food etc.
ensure car loaded ready to go. Get up at 05.00 breakfast,walk dogs,make a cuppa in cup every bodies loads by 6.30, then go M3,A303 A30. You have a long day a head off you and will need to stop for dog breaks and a like you should get there by lunch time.
going m4 m5 is going up to come back down.

I didn't think of the poor dogs breaking there neck for a pee. Kate ignore my previous post and go 303 for the sake of fido please :)
-
There are services and, indeed, junctions, on m4/m5 for dog walks etc
Going up to come back down, means avoiding the god awful 303.
-
Am currently sat in a class room with 29 other hgv 1 drivers, (driver CPC training) the consensus of opinion is A303. :)
-
A303 every time! ;)
The danger of the M4/M5 route is that it's so dull (you go past Reading! ::)) and boring that by the time you get to Bristol, you'll be fast asleep and will end up in Wales!!! :o ;D
"Bristol?" I hear you cry "That's nowhere near Cornwall....." Exactly! :)
M25/M3/A303/A30/M5/A38/onwards On a Sunday morning it will be absolutely fine! :y
-

Stop-start sprint from roundabout to roundabout. I hate the A303. If you let the BMW drivers get under your skin and demonstrate the superior performance of the 3.2 you will be covered in puke by your passengers before you get to the crawl past Stonehenge.
If I am coming from North of London I go M4/M5 to Exeter (& try very hard to stay awake) then A30 into Cornwall
If I am coming from South of London I go M3 to Southampton then M27/A27/A35/A31/A30 to Exeter then A30 into Cornwal
-
Take the Train, Bus, Bus, Train, Bus, Train. :D
-
Google maps does indeed recommend the A303 as the quickest route over the m4/5. From Wallmingham to Looe.
...its quicker by...
...6 minutes. ;D
Save yourself the agro Kate. M4/5 ;)
-
I'm in the middle of packing now. What fun. :o
I'm kind of favouring M4 at the moment due to thinking that the cats will get thrown from side to side if I take the A303.
I won't get bored as I'll have my housemate/friend with me and she never stops talking. I sometimes think my ears will fall off. ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Yeah I can imagine. Dont hog the middle lane ;D
-
This is getting as controversial as a tyre thread!! :o ;D Poor Kate must be really confused by now!!! :D ;D
My last word in favour of the A303 is that with animals in the car there are loads of places to stop, laybys and services etc, so Kate won't be in the situation where she has to drive 30 odd miles to the next motorway services with a cat on her head!! :o ::) ;D
-
Most animals don't like roundabouts. I suspect the cat will be on her head if she takes the route with numerous roundabouts.

To keep everyone happy my route looks like this. ;D ;D ;D

Ahhh...but as google maps takes into account traffic at the time you asked it for the route....that will most likely be different when Kate leaves for Looe.....and i actually find A roads make me stay alert....ive actually done a Heathrow to Swindon pickup before....and come off at jn 14 then gone across country...to keep me awake ::) ;D

That looks like the sort of route my ex-next door neighbour would have taken. Years ago he was going from Sandhurst to Cornwall on holiday with his family and managed to go via Birmingham and Yeovil. :o :o :o ;D ;D ;D

Is there more than one A303? I only ask as the one I've used for the last 20 years seems like a decent bit of road that goes directly towards the destination requested. And I've rarely been a decent distance along the M4 without being held up, which the extra 70miles don't help.

Methinks there must be, as the one I drive quite often bears little resemblance to the one described by others ....

I'm sure the a303 in front of you will be completely empty Mr Entwood.
...and the caravan behind completely obscure the large queue of irritated motorists behind. ;)
Why on earth you'd use the 303 from Swindon though...?

Quite often have to go to Yeovil .. preferred route is Bassett/Westbury/Warminster/A303 a good 45 miles less than the route the Sat Nav suggests M4/M5/A39 and even with the tin-tent on I still average 60 mph .... :)

On the positive side you miss out Basingstoke AND Reading ;D ;D
-
...and only cross the 303 4 times. :y
I wonder how she got on...?
-
Either arrived at lunch time and now firmly ensconsed in the pub, or got as far as Brissol and forgot to turn left, and currently looking for a B and B in Mumbles ;D
-
Yippee, I got to Looe. :y
Thanks for all the advice. :y
In the end, seeing how the cruise control is fixed, I decided on M4/M5. :o
The moving was a total nightmare. The removal men turned up with a Luton van so I ended up trying to cram the car full of stuff, together with my housemate and 5 animals. I ended up having to leave lots of my things. :'(
Then, when the van was fully loaded, the head removal guy tried to blackmail me into giving him cash for the removal, even though Croydon council had already told them that they were paying as part of a downsizing grant. This agreement took weeks to arrange and they had agreed to it. The blackmailing went on for about an hour with my housemate crying her eyes out. >:(
The drive down was a nightmare as my housemate ended up with the two dogs on her knee due to the lack of space in the car. Then, about half way, the ABS and TC came on. ::)
When we finally arrived the head removal guy told me that I would have to help with the unpacking. This meant that me and my housemate had to do 50 per cent of the unloading. I tried my best but I thought I was going to have a heart attack due to my ongoing health problems. Me being massively overweight with hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes and back problems made me feel like I was going to die. :o

All the best Kate for your new life in Looe :y :y

When's the house warming? :)

Ok, I'm a bit late to this party, but this is my manor you're all talking about >:(
A303 is a bloody ridiculous road. Roundabouts every 1/2 mile.
Ehh?? There are precicely 5 roundabouts between the M25/M3 junction and Exeter. Amesbury, Stonehenge, Sparkford, Podimore and South Petherton.
There's another option following the m3 all the way down to Sputhampton and turn right through the new forest, but I've never been that way and google maps says its half hour longer than the 303.
Half an hour my arris. If the roads are busy enough to get delayed on the A303 then the A31/35 past Bournemouth and Dorchester will be chokka.
In general, the A303 has been a problem both ways at Stonehenge since they "improved" the stonehenge roundabout. Be prepared for delays at busy times, which means sunday evening & weekday mornings eastbound, and weekday evenings westbound. The ends of the dual carrageway sections at Amesbury westbound and Winterbourne stoke eastbound can be a nightmare at very busy times too. There are local roads know only to locals to avoid these jams, <league of gentlemen voice on>but these are secret local roads for local's only<league of gentlemen voice off> ;)
On a Saturday or Sunday morning I would use the A303 every time - it won't be busy enough to be delayed. I detest the M5 south of Bristol. The local rozzers are always closeing it for no good reason, and they WILL let you sit there for 6-8 hours whilst they investigate.

7 roundabouts! You missed out Ilminster and The Cartgate, but still hardly the road to hell as it's depicted by some! ::) ;D
You're quite right about the New Forest route or what I call 'The Bottom Route' which if the A303 is going to be busy then that way will be worse. ::) The 70 odd miles between Ringwood and Honiton is mostly single carriageway and has more roundabouts than the whole of the A303!! :o
It is a good alternative if there's an incident blocking the A303 however and there are cracking views over Lyme Bay heading west over Askerswell between Dorchester and Bridport! :)
-
Yes 7 roundabouts. And having checked, even google earth shows horrendous traffic in their approach, and there's almost more single carriageway than dual carriageway. Why on EARTH would anyone choose single carriageway over three lanes of motorway. A34 is the same IMO, as far a dual carriageway goes. Hopeless.
If you've got time to admire the view while driving, well.... ::)
-

I must lean to count. :D. For me thare are only 3 - Amesbury, Stonehenge and Sparkford.

The only queue I can see is the westbound one on/near the Amesbury roundabout. This isn't caused by the roundabout itself, it's caused because the first bit of single carrageway is shortly after it. I'd guess that photo was taken on a summer bank holiday Friday afternoon/evening with all the Londoners traveling down south to their second holiday homes. The queue is rarely up the hill to near Solstace park services at other times. As you come down the hill past Boscombe Down airfield you can see the road past the roundabout going up the hill in the distance. If you see stationary traffic, you duck off at solstace park and use one of the secret local roads, for local people only mind - Londoners must sit and wait in the queue:)
A34 is the same IMO, as far a dual carriageway goes. Hopeless.
Agree with you on that. Southbound on a sunday evening from the M40 all the way to the A303 is dreadful. Once on the A303 you can relax and all the problems are over ;)
PS - "Londoner" means anyone who lives east of Salisbury, "The Midlands" starts immediatley north of the A303, and "The North" is anywhere north of the M4.

I did. But Earth doesn't give you the traffic. Google Maps gives the traffic.
Open google maps. Options. Selector traffic. Traffic jams are displayed laid over the map highlighted in Red! ...or green of there's no traffic. Or orange if its slow moving traffic.
Muppet! ;D

Well I did enjoy the M25/M4/M5 trip but I'm going to give the A303 a try next time. :y
How many roundabouts will there be in total? (PL13 2AW - CR6 9BW)

If the roundabouts don't slow you up, the single file behind a pikey will. ::)
