Tunbridge Wells #1030 Free
This 12.75 km single-stage route runs about 28.7 minutes through Royal Wells Park, St James, Ramslye and Broadwater Down, mixing 20mph, 30mph and a 60mph stretch. It is one of only three routes at this Tunbridge Wells centre that reaches a 60mph limit, so expect a clear change of pace between the town and the open road. It has 9 turns, 3 roundabouts and 11 sets of traffic signals.
Watch Out For
- 11 sets of traffic signals across the drive, including the busy junctions near Mount Pleasant Road.
- Two marked roundabouts on London Road and near Vale Road, where you give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- The 60mph section demands smooth speed building and early planning for the return to town limits.
Route Features
- A 20mph residential zone around St. Mark's Road.
- Quieter lanes through Broadwater Down and Frant Road.
Test Manoeuvres
- A likely pull up on the left near Goods Station Road, finishing close to kerb without touching it.
Key Tips
- Read the 60mph to 30mph transition early so your braking stays gentle.
- On roundabouts, give way to the right and signal left as you leave.
