Route

Farnborough - Reading

The A327 starts on the A325, as it always did, but nowadays begins further down on a large roundabout at the top right hand corner of Farnborough Airfield. It then darts around on previous unclassified local roads up to junction 4A on the M3, where it settles down on a straight road which is polluted by 40/50 limits and a mountain of GATSOs.

The A327 multiplexes with the A30 past Blackbushe Airport and Market, which is a huge car auction centre and open air market which is basically in the middle of nowhere. After this, it branches off to the right and heads up to Eversley, where it rejoins its original route.

After this, the A327 crosses the Blackwater River to leave Hampshire for Berkshire, and the quality of the road starts improving. It runs through Aborfield and Shinfield before crossing over the M4, where it hits the surburbs of Reading.

From here it's a slow drive through the suburbs of Reading past the University and the Royal Berkshire Hospital up to a roundabout with the old A33, where it terminated.

Now the A33 has been rerouted via its new relief road to the west, the A327 takes over the last bit of its old route, which runs down Southampton Street on one side and London Street / Silver Street on the other. It now terminates at the infamous former Ski Jump on the Reading IDR (aka the A329).
