November 2024 - Follow the official National Highways route to access RHS Wisley Gardens.

What time of day was this filmed? Took us 40 minutes last week, to get from Wisley car park, along the A3 to junction 10.

[@aviewthroughthelens]

This was a Saturday morning

Thank you for this video. How do you get back on A3 when exiting Wisley (going towards Guildford)?

[@aviewthroughthelens]

Back onto the A3 North and round the M25 Junction is the National Highways suggested route

[@peterjohnson1739]

@@joeysnowdon6738 Alternatively go south on the B2215 through Ripley until you eventually get back to the A3.

[@cmclewee9518]

Rob, Did you have to take down the video accessing Wisley from the south via B2215?

[@aviewthroughthelens]

I didn’t have to, but I was very politely asked to do so to save the residents the pain of loads of traffic. It was done in such a nice way I had no issue in doing so.

[@peterjohnson1739]

How long did that take in real time?

[@aviewthroughthelens]

About 8 minutes

[@peterjohnson1739]

That route is plain stupid. There ought to be a northbound exit from the A3 to the Oakham roundabout. This solution wastes time, fuel and is certainly not green. Worst of all why spend millions improving Junction 10 only to direct even more traffic through the roundabout? This makes getting to Wisley from the South much worse than before all the “improvements”.

[@aviewthroughthelens]

Absolutely agree.

@@aviewthroughthelens Yep, need to remember to go through Ripley in future.

[@robertfitzjohn4755]

Indeed, I wonder how many tonnes of extra CO2 emissions (and other pollutants) this roundabout (pun intended) route will cause?

[@aviewthroughthelens]

Hopefully they will re-think and look at putting in the on and off slip roads at Ockham Hill and saving Ripley from all the through traffic in both directions.

There is a matching northbound exit for this junction, it's the Ripley exit (which is also equivalent southbound entry). Drive through Ripley and you're at the Ockham roundabout - avoid the M25 J10 altogether. Stop off at the shops/ cafes etc as you drive through Ripley... as you can imagine, they're not best pleased at the extra traffic!
