Ask the AA website for directions and it will also give you the time. Allow time for a break too though.

That all depends on which way you go.

I used to drive from Peterborough to Cardiff regularly and the journey time was different everytime - 3 hours was the quickest - going along M6 - M5 - M4.

Your journey would be M4 - M5 - M42 - M6 - A14 - A605 then across country from Peterborough or up the A15.

Allow 4 - 5 hours on a goodish day - more if the traffic is crap
