The A435 is a main road in England running between Birmingham and Cirencester (although most of the section between Alcester and just North of Cheltenham has been reclassified as the A46).

Route

Birmingham to Alcester

The A435 starts on the Birmingham Ring Road, A4540, heading South through the suburbs of Moseley and Kings Heath. A dual carriageway bypasses Wythall before crossing the M42 at junction 3. The road serves the new town of Redditch, yet avoids it to the East. 2miles before the village of Studley the road becomes single carriageway again passing through the heart of the village, meeting the A448 road at the other side. Alcester is bypassed to the West, meeting the A46 on the South side of the town. The next 21miles the road is concurrent with the A46.

Teddington to Cheltenham

At a roundabout near Teddington, the A435 resumes as a non primary route, passing through the centre of Cheltenham, continuing South to eventually cross the A417 and terminating in the centre of Cirencester

Former routes

In several places the A435 has bypassed towns and villages, or superseded by other routes.

Historical Places along the route

Active travel

In 2025, construction is expected to start on a dedicated cycle lane along the A345 between Cheltenham and Bishop's Cleeve.[1] It is part of a wider project to provide a cycling route from Bishop's Cleeve to Stroud.[2]
