Please note that it is no longer possible to turn right into
Knole Rd from the A35 if approaching from the Christchurch

From London and the South East
Take the M3 and remain on there until you reach the M27. Follows
the signs for the M27 west bound and continue to the end of the
motorway. The M27 then becomes the A31 and will take you through
the New Forest. After approximately 11 miles turn off the A31 onto
the A338. Once you pass the Bournemouth sign leave the A338 at the
3rd junction (A3049 Boscombe). The fire station is on your left as
you approach a mini roundabout. Turn right onto the Holdenhurst
Road. Take the 4th left, Cleveland Rd and continue on down until
you reach St Clements Church. Turn right at the T junction and then
Knole Rd is the next turning on the left (next to the churchyard).
Carry on down, crossing straight over the cross roads which splits
Knole Rd and Boscombe Grange is approximately 200 yards further
down on the right hand side.
From the North and Midlands
Come South via the M40 until you reach junction 9. Follow the
signs for the A34 south passing by Oxford, Newbury and Winchester.
Once you reach the M3 follow the directions for travel from London
and the South East.
From the West and Wales
Join the motorway system (M5 and M4) towards London. Leave the
M4 at junction 19 and take the A46 towards Bath. Once in the Bath
area pick up the A36 to Salisbury. Stay on the A36 through
Salisbury until you reach the A338 to Fordingbridge and Ringwood.
After Ringwood you pick up the A31 for a brief period and can then
pick up the A338 into Bournemouth. From there on follow the
directions for travel from London and the South East.
IMPORTANT - Please note that Bournemouth
Borough Council have altered the road layout at the junction of
Knole Rd and the A35, Christchurch Rd. It is still possible to turn
left into Knole Rd if approaching from the Bournemouth direction,
but you cannot turn right into Knole Rd if approaching from the
Christchurch direction. Instead turn right into Drummond Rd (the
urning before Knole Rd) and follow it to the cross roads mentioned
in the directions for London and the South East - Turn left at this
crossroads.
