TRAVELLING BY CAR
From Swansea there are two routes. The most popular and usually the fastest is the M4/M25/A12. The second option is M4/A465/A40/A449/M50/M5/M42/M6/A14.
For the first route join the M4 out of Swansea. Leave the M4 at junction 4B and head clockwise round the M25. Leave the M25 a t junction 28 joining the A12. Once at Copdock follow the last few miles into Ipswich as detailed below.
For the second route leave the M4 out of Swansea at junction 43 joining the A465. Join the A40 heading east. The road will briefly change to the A449 and at the next roundabout take the third exit down the M50.
At the end of the M50 take the first left for the M5 and head north. Once you have reached junction 4A leave for the M42 staying on until junction 7A where you will join the M6.
Stay on the M6 for a short period of time until you reach the A14. Continue on the A14 to the outskirts of Ipswich following the last few miles into Ipswich once at the Copdock A12 / A14 interchange.
The last few miles
Once you reach the A12 / A14 Copdock Interchange, just south of Ipswich, take the A1214 (London Road) for a couple of miles into town. As you approach the town centre area, there’s a Sainsbury’s supermarket on the left – at this point, go straight on past Sainsbury’s and then almost immediately right onto West End Road. Take the first left (after about half a mile) onto Sir Alf Ramsey Way and continue to the stadium.
