[Bazile]

try putting into - for example RAC route planner - the postcode of your departure and destination address

Flipping ages! Four or five hours I would guess, depending on traffic.

It's 201 miles by road.

According to the AA route planner, 3 hours and 42 minutes.

I think they're veyr optimistic

[CheekyChops]

I agree with Ethel, that is very optimistic. You have a 45min drive after you come off the M6 at Stoke!

And if you go during the month of August you will spend the whole day there and get on about 4 rides.

The rest of the time you will spend queuing.

It is a waste of time going there at the moment, go later in the year when it is quieter.
