Old Gloucester Road, Upper Swainswick From the roundabout forming the junction of the A46 and the A420 near Cold Ashton, follow the A46 towards Bath for three miles. Immediately after a lay-by on the left there is a sign for Upper Swainswick. Take this left turning and follow the road under the A46, then turn right signed Upper Swainswick. After about 200 yards do not go back onto the northbound side of the A46. Instead turn left into the village and then immediately right into the Old Gloucester Road which is a no through road. Park here - turning place at the end.
