This Shell service station at Oldbury, near Standish, sits just off the A38 and serves as a practical stopping point for travellers moving through the Cotswolds.
If you're driving an electric vehicle, you'll find reliable EV charging facilities here, along with standard petrol and diesel pumps for conventional cars.
The on-site Shell Select store stocks snacks, drinks, and travel essentials, so you can pick up anything you need without leaving the forecourt. There are clean restroom facilities available too, making it a comfortable place to take a proper break and stretch your legs during a longer journey.
While the service station itself is a modern facility rather than a destination, the area has long served as a transit hub thanks to its main road connections. If you have time to explore beyond your pit stop, the nearby village of Standish is just minutes away. Stroud, with its thriving arts community and celebrated farmers' market, lies a short drive to the east. The historic city of Gloucester, home to an impressive cathedral and revitalised docks, is easily accessible to the north.
It's the kind of stop that keeps you moving efficiently while positioning you conveniently for exploring the wider region. Practical, well-maintained, and strategically located, it does exactly what it sets out to do.
