Route of Road

Beginning in Honiton off the A30 road, the A35 travels in a roughly south-easterly direction past Axminster, Charmouth and Bridport. After Bridport, there is a two-mile section of dual carriageway, before it reaches its bypass around Dorchester. After Dorchester, there is approximately eight miles of dual carriageway, including the Puddletown bypass, until it reaches its roundabout with the A31 road at Bere Regis. Continuing roughly south-easterly still, it becomes dual carriageway again near Upton, and continues past Poole. It returns to single carriageway through Bournemouth, and then has a dual carriageway bypass of Christchurch. It then heads in a north-easterly direction through the New Forest, passing through the town of Lyndhurst where it meets the A337 road (to Lymington). It continues through Ashurst and Totton, meeting the A36 road and M27 motorway at grade separated junctions. It then turns north-east, acting as the western part of Southampton's ring road, with the A27 road making up the eastern part. It terminates at Swaythling, on the northern outskirts of Southampton.
Within Bournemouth, it has been diverted north of the shopping centre of Boscombe; much of the former road is pedestrianised.
