Best route from Westcombe to Orange / Yellow gate

[ayecannyaye]

For the first time we are staying with a friend Tuesday night in Westcombe a short drive from the site and heading in Wednesday morning.

This means we'll be coming from the east but ideally want to park close to gate D . Anyone got advice on a route?

Tricky one.  Head from Westcombe to Evercreech village just to the west.....then join the A371 just north of the pick up point at the Bath & West Showground.  Turn right onto this road and head north.  Now the important bit....go straight on at the next island towards Shepton Mallet town centre - do NOT turn left onto the A37 - and at Shepton go left and through the town towards Wells on the A371.  When you reach Wells turn left onto the A39 South towards Glastonbury.  A short way down the Wells-Glastonbury road you will be directed left off through Launcherley and North Wootton villages and into the West carparks.

Have a great festival

Thanks so much for that. Any ideas on journey time, allowing for traffic etc?

Difficult....30 mins with no traffic....so maybe an hour or so on Weds morning.
