The '''A435''' is a main road in [[England]] running between [[Birmingham]] and [[Cirencester]] (although most of the section between Alcester and just north of Cheltenham has been reclassified as the [[A46 road|A46]]).

==Route==

===Birmingham to Alcester===
The A435 starts on the [[Birmingham]] Ring Road, [[A4540 road|A4540]], heading south through the suburbs of [[Moseley]] and [[Kings Heath]]. A dual carriageway bypasses [[Wythall]] before crossing the [[M42 motorway|M42]] at junction 3. The road serves the new town of [[Redditch]], yet avoids it to the east. {{Convert|2|mi|km}} before the village of [[Studley, Warwickshire|Studley]] the road becomes single carriageway again passing through the heart of the village, meeting the [[A448 road]] at the other side. [[Alcester]] is bypassed to the west, meeting the [[A46 road|A46]] on the south side of the town. The next {{Convert|21|mi|km}} the road is concurrent with the A46.

===Teddington to Cheltenham===
At a [[roundabout]] near Teddington, the A435 resumes as a non primary route, passing through the centre of Cheltenham, continuing south to eventually cross the [[A417 road|A417]] and terminating in the centre of Cirencester.

==Former routes==
In several places the A435 has bypassed towns and villages, or superseded  by other routes.
* Hollywood and [[Wythall]]
* [[Portway, Worcestershire|Portway]]
* [[Alcester]] 
* Between Alcester and [[Evesham]], the A435 route was bypassed by a new dual carriageway classified as the A46. The former A435 route passed the villages of Dunnington, Harvington and Norton and is now classified as the B4088.
* Between Evesham and Teddington the existing A435 route was reclassified as the A46

==Historical Places along the route==
* From a mile north of Studley until Alcester the road runs along path of old Roman road [[Ryknild Street]].
* [[Coughton Court]], [[stately home]] run by the [[National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty|National Trust]].
* [[Ragley Hall]] stately home, the ancestral seat of the [[Marquess of Hertford]].

== Active travel ==
In 2025, construction is expected to start on a dedicated cycle lane along the A435 between Cheltenham and [[Bishop's Cleeve]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=21 May 2024|title=New cycle lane to be installed on A435 near Cheltenham Racecourse|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy6602vjwg8o|access-date=3 January 2025|website=BBC News|language=en-GB}}</ref> It is part of a wider project to provide a cycling route from Bishop's Cleeve to [[Stroud]].<ref>{{Cite news|date=27 January 2024|title=Residents share hopes for 'long overdue' Gloucestershire cycle path|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-68103827|access-date=3 January 2025|work=BBC News|language=en-GB}}</ref>
