Road-travel Directions
Approaching from the South via the M6:

ST5 5BG
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.

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 West via Crewe/Nantwich:

Use the approach via the A531 passing through Betley and Madeley Heath.

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 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.

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.
