The two maps below show the major routes into Gloucester and the location of Hempsted village. Most people know where the 'League' is, so once you are close enough just ask for directions !

In addition to the maps, there are directions from each of the main roads into Gloucester.

Directions to The Gordon League Rugby Football Club, Hempsted lane, Hempsted, Gloucester

From the West:

Approaching on the A48/A40 towards Gloucester City Centre, you will pass Over Farm Shop and the Dog at Over Public House, at the next roundabout head right toward the City Centre (Over Causeway). Get into the right hand lane ready to turn right at the traffic lights, follow the road straight over the next set of lights (you should see the Colin Campbell Pub down on the left) you are now on Hempsted Lane, head up the road until you reach another roundabout. Branch off right and carry straight on up Hempsted Lane, the Gordon League is a little further on to your left.

From the North:

From the North Gloucester is best reached via the M5 motorway. Exit at junction 11 and head for Gloucester City centre. At the first roundabout you come to take the third major exit towards Ross (be careful, there is an entrance to Government buildings immediately to your left - do not count this).
At the end of this dual-carriageway is a roundabout, go straight over this (again signposted Ross) at the next roundabout bear left signposted City Centre (Over Causeway). Get into the right hand lane ready to turn right at the traffic lights, follow the road straight over the next set of lights (past the Colin Campbell Pub) you are now on Hempsted Lane, head up the road until you reach another roundabout. Branch off right and carry straight on up Hempsted Lane, the Gordon League is a little further on to your left.

From the South (West):

Approach Gloucester along the M5 and leave the motorway at junction 12. Follow the signs for Gloucester. As you approach the outskirts of the city you will encounter a large traffic light complex. Follow the signs for Hempstead (left hand/centre lanes), you will go through 2 further sets of lights, the road start to climb to another set of light go straight again, after about 300 yards you will be able to see the Club Grounds on your left, at the next roundabout turn left up Hempsted Lane and the Club is on the left.

From the East:

Leave the M4 motorway at junction 15 and head for Cirencester/Gloucester along the A419/A417. This road is dual carriage-way most of the way and should be followed along it's full length. The dual-carriageway ends at a small roundabout and is reduced to two-way traffic, eventually running downhill to a roundabout located next to a pub called 'The Air Balloon'. Turn left there and head down the steep hill towards Gloucester. This road opens back out into dual-carriageway which should be followed until it reaches a junction with another by-pass (do not take the M5 motorway turn-off). Follow signs for Gloucester and continue until you reach a large roundabout with several large office buildings surrounding it. Take the third exit (towards Longlevens/Ross). At the end of this road is another large roundabout. From here take the second exit towards Ross. At the end of this dual-carriageway is a roundabout, go straight over this (again signposted Ross) at the next roundabout bear left signposted City Centre (Over Causeway).
