Directions by road

Postcode: CO7 7HG

From A12 To A120 To A133 To AngFlor 

AngFlor and Anglia Salads share the same site. However we ask that if you in a large vehicle you enter our site via Rectory Road and not via Church Road please. SatNavs will direct you via Church Road so you will need to amend the route on your SatNavs.  Please also follow the instructions below. 

Once on the A12 follow road signs to Colchester and then look for signs for the A120, signed for Harwich. 

Getting onto A120 from A12

Take the slip road for the A120 - at this point you can either stay in the left-hand lane and then go straight over the roundabout (2nd exit). Alternatively get in the right hand lane which will also take you onto the A120 but will take you under the roundabout as opposed to over it; either way will get you onto the A120.  From here follow signs for Clacton/A133

Getting onto A133 from A120

Take the slip road for the A133, head down the A133 until you come to a roundabout where the road changes to single carriageway.  Take the turning on the right (2nd turning) at this roundabout onto Colchester Road (A133) 

Getting from A133 to Anglia Salads

When you get to the Frating Traffic lights, turn left onto the B1029 and head south and follow the road round to the right onto School Lane (B1029).  Head straight down this road until you come to a sharp bend to the left, there is a road opposite this bend (looks like a dirt road) you need to turn right down this road which is called Rectory Road.  

Approximately two or three minutes drive up Rectory Road there is a sharp bend to the right, opposite this bend is another dirt road, which should be signposted as Anglia Salads, turn left down this road and follow it round to the right, Anglia Salads should be ahead of you.

If any part of these instructions are unclear please contact us at AngFlor on 01206 255001.

Testimonials

  • The AngFlor Tunnel project is the first of its kind to be built in the UK by IMA. Its large 9.6m bays and 6m high ridges make for a very light and airy growing environment. In addition, the 60 strong energy efficient inverter driven motors for the ventilation system make the whole place feel like an open field.
