From Bedford (MK40, MK41, MK42) the natural line out is the A421 and the A6, joining M40 J9, then A41 and Pingle Drive for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 42.0 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 1h 10m off-peak becomes 1h 25m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
The Pingle Drive drop-off, by the Village entrance. The Village car parks fill by 10:00 at weekends and in the run-up to Christmas, so being dropped at the door saves the circling.
Address: 50 Pingle Drive, Bicester, OX26 6WD.
Any address in Bedford works, along with the wider MK40, MK41, MK42 area of Bedfordshire. House, hotel lobby or office reception, whichever suits you on the day.
