The nearest main road is the A419 (shown "Blunsdon Hill" on the map), which leaves the M4 Motorway at Junction 15, signposted for Cirencester.
 
Leave the A419 at the top of Blunsdon Hill, just north of Swindon, where there is a junction controlled by traffic lights. Take the westwards crossroad for Blunsdon and Purton and the Railway is about 2 miles on. There is just one small roundabout, followed by a road junction, shortly after leaving the A419. In both cases, you should bear right. Tadpole Lane itself is being affected by new junctions being built in conjunction with housing development, but keep straight on - our car park is immediately after a small river bridge.

Bus Service
For those wishing to use public transport to visit the Railway, Thamesdown Transport's service 18 (Mon - Sat) and Stagecoach's service 19 (Sundays & Bank Hoildays) offer a viable option. Running between Fleming Way bus station and Haydon Wick, the Oakhurst Way stop is not much more than a mile from Blunsdon Station. Fleming Way is just a few minutes' walk from Swindon Station.
See Thamesdown Transport's web site for full details of Service 18, and Stagecoach for Service 19 (in a Sunday Services PDF document).
From the bus stop, walk North to Tadpole Lane, then turn left.
