Road-travel Directions
ST5 5BG
Approaching from the South via the M6:
Leave the motorway at junction 15, go left at the first roundabout
onto the A519 to Newcastle-under-Lyme. Continue on this road
crossing two more roundabouts. After about two miles you will
descend a hill towards the town of Newcastle; continue right at
the bottom of the hill, cross the small roundabout by the
supermarket and take the first exit at the next roundabout to
enter a dual carriageway system. Go straight on at the next
roundabout and then turn left at the next roundabout signposted
to Keele. Turn right at the traffic lights at the “T” junction and after
about one mile cross a roundabout, and continuing up the hill you
will find the University Entrance on the left at the top of the rise.
Approaching from the North via the M6:
Leave the motorway at junction 16, turning right onto the A500
heading towards Nantwich. Continue for about two miles, go left
at the roundabout, continue for a further mile and go left at the
next roundabout onto the A531 towards Betley. Continue on this
road for approximately eight miles until you reach the Keele
University entrance.
Approaching from the East, using the A50:
Travel along the A50 until it ends just past the ‘Britannia’ Stoke
City football stadium. Turn left (and moving into the right-hand
lane) join the A500. Move into a right-hand lane on the A500 to
go over the flyover. After about 1 mile turn right at the
roundabout onto the A519 to Newcastle-under-Lyme. Continue on
this road crossing two more roundabouts. After about two miles
you will descend a hill towards the town; continue right at the
bottom of the hill, cross the small roundabout by the supermarket
and take the first exit at the next roundabout to enter a dual
carriageway system. Go straight on at the next roundabout and
then turn left at the next roundabout signposted to Keele. Turn
right at the traffic lights at the “T” junction and after about one
mile cross a roundabout, and continuing up the hill you will find
the University Entrance on the left at the top of the rise.
Approaching from the East through Stoke-on-Trent:
Head for Newcastle-under-Lyme which has a small ring road
system. Look for sign-posting to Whitchurch (A525) and
following this you will find the University entrance at the top
of the hill.
Approaching from the West via Crewe/Nantwich:
Use the approach via the A531 passing through Betley and
Madeley Heath.
Approaching from the West from Shrewsbury:
Take the A53 for Newcastle-under-Lyme. On the outskirts of
the town you will pass over the M6 motorway. After about
half a mile turn left at the next roundabout - follow this road
to the “T” junction, and then turn left into Gallowstree Lane.
Follow this road to the roundabout where you turn left up the
hill to Keele. Keele University entrance is on the left at the top
of the hill.
