Layby on the A429 near Ettington

The A429 runs 74 miles from the M4 north of Chippenham as a primary route to Warwick, via Malmesbury, Cirencester, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Moreton in Marsh. In Warwick, the A429 follows the old course of the A46 as a non-primary route through Warwick and on to Kenilworth and Coventry, although there is a gap between the A46 Warwick bypass and Kenilworth.
