This Grantham (Somerby) route runs 14.77 km in about 27.9 minutes as a single stage, staying within the Cold Harbour area before reaching the town streets. It covers a 30 to 60 mph speed range with a single roundabout and 6 traffic signals. With 7 right turns against only 3 left turns, it is one of the more right turn heavy routes at this test centre.

Watch Out For

  • The single roundabout, where you give way to the right and signal left as you leave.
  • Seven right turns across oncoming traffic, more than the lefts on this route.
  • The transition onto faster 50 and 60 mph stretches near Gorse Lane.

Route Features

Test Manoeuvres

  • A pull up on the left at High Dike, checking mirrors and signalling before you stop close to the kerb.

Key Tips

  • Plan your lane and signal early for each of the seven right turns.
  • Adjust speed sensibly between the 30 mph town limits and the 60 mph open road.
