Evesham Road and the northern approach
The main route to Prestbury Park is the A435 Evesham Road, heading north from Cheltenham, and there's a second way in from the Bishop's Cleeve side. Temporary restrictions govern both while the festival is on, and the one-way system in the town centre channels all of it onto that one corridor.
Coming from London, you either take the M40 up to Oxford and cut across through Burford on the A40, or use the M4 and A419 via Cirencester. Outside race week that's about two and a quarter hours. On Gold Cup morning, allow an extra hour.
It's quicker from Birmingham, taking the M5 south to junction 10 or 11 in about an hour.
