Morning all. Ive been invited to Blenheim palace next saturday and wondered best route to take ? home is deal kent so M2 M25 M40 off at J8 and around oxford or I see there is a B road B4027 which will miss all the fraffic, what do you think...thanks Gordon

Get off m40 at junc 9 then on a34 is best.

Expect traffic though. The A34 gets quite busy. Shouldn't be a nightmare assuming no accidents but not fast.

Blenheim is lovely though. We did a couple of work events up there a few years back.

I live 2.5miles south of Blenheim.

I don't know much about the first bit of your route.

From the M25 you can either do M4-A34 (northbound) -A44, or M40-A40-A44, or M40-A34 (southbound) -A44.

I normally listen out for traffic on the radio and decide accordingly.

M40-A40-A44 route is a bit shortest but A40 around Oxford (Northern Bypass) is slow, Saturday morning probably not the worst.
A34 northbound is always a disaster on Friday afternoons.

Sadly, you can't get onto the B4027 from the A40 in the direction that you would like to go, although it would work on the way back.

thanks people, I will play it by ear as I do not have a radio in the car, the event is a Coys concours so it should be fun not been there before so looking forward to it........Gordon

You want to U2U "Cheffy" as he lives on Blenheim estate!
