Ascot Drive serves as a critical route linking the A38 Bristol Road to residential areas including the Westminster Walk estate by Persimmon Homes Severn Valley and the Evergreen Parade estate, currently under development by Bloor Homes South West. This road crosses the Bristol to Exeter railway line and functions as a major commuter artery to both Bridgwater town centre and the M5 motorway via the Dunball roundabout.
