Route
The Heathrow → Wells Route
Heathrow to Wells is one of our most-booked South West runs — typically tourists arriving for the cathedral and Mendips, or Somerset locals returning from international trips. Mostly motorway with a final A39 stretch into Wells.
Standard route
Heathrow → M4 westbound (J4b) → M4 west past Reading and Swindon → M4 J20 → M5 southbound → M5 J21 (Weston-super-Mare) → M5 J22 (Burnham-on-Sea) → A38 east → A39 east → Wells. Approximately 135 miles, typically 2h30m–2h45m off-peak.
Bath alternative
For some Wells addresses (eastern side, Croscombe, Shepton Mallet border) the driver may take M4 → M4 J18 → A46 → Bath → A367 → Wells. Slightly longer (~140 mi) but more direct for those eastern Wells postcodes. Through scenic countryside.
