welcome!
I hail from the midlands but it's been a while since I used the local roads. Do you use a SatNav? There doesn't seem to be many nice routes which avoid motorways and towns so the motorway may be a better option on a Friday afternoon on a Bank Holiday weekend.
Hopefully, a local will be able to advise, so here's a bump for the question! :)

Just spotted these directions on the main page:
Coming from the North
From M40 junction 15, Take the A429 towards Cirencester. Enter the Village of HALFORD take the first left,(if you pass a pub on the right or petrol station on left you have gone to far). Into IDLICOTE ROAD. You come to a sharp left bend in the road with a right fork - take the right fork. Follow the lane for about a mile until it drops down a hill - the campsite is on the right through a gate at the bottom of the hill. If you continue up the hill GRANBY FARM is on the right.

Wouldn't fancy having you as a guide. Wolves from Dudley to get to Stratford? Slightly the opposite direction.....

Yeah but Wolves is gods own country :whistle: and as per my guide duties at least you would have an interesting mystery trip :pinch:

I haven't got a clue why I put Wolves, but in any case Dudley, Stourbridge, Redditch and onto the Stratford area Honest :whistle: if you want to avoid motorways

Cheers Spud ;)
