By Road from M1

Leave the M1 at junction 19 to join the M6. Leave the M6 at junction 10A to join the M54 to Telford.  At Telford the M54 merges with the A5, a dual carriageway, which continues to Shrewsbury. As you approach the outskirts of Shrewsbury, follow the signs for Bridgnorth (A458). At the second roundabout you should leave the A5, following signs for Bridgnorth/Much Wenlock.  This road will take you over the top of the A5. Then take the second turning on the right signposted “Acton Burnell Castle”. The College is approximately 6 miles along this road, which is very narrow in parts. Careful driving is necessary!  As you approach the village of Acton Burnell take the left turning. The College entrance is along this road on your right.
