Getting to Gloucester Test Centre
If you’re learning with a DVSA-approved instructor, chances are they’ll drive you to Gloucester Test Centre during your lessons. But if you’d like to check it out yourself beforehand, getting there is simple. From the centre of Gloucester, just follow Trier Way onto Bristol Road, then turn onto Falcon Close. Travelling from outside the area? You’ll find easy access via major roads like the A38 and A40, or the M5 motorway. For a smooth trip, especially if it’s your first visit, we recommend using a sat nav to guide you.
