At 17.98 km and about 36 minutes, this single-stage route runs from Greasby out to Meols and Hoylake, with limits from 30 to 50 mph. It is the only route in this Upton set to reach the Hoylake seafront, so alongside six roundabouts you get coastal roads and open promenade driving that most other routes never touch.

Watch Out For

  • Seafront traffic and pedestrians along Marine Road.
  • The approach to the coast at The King's Gap, watching for parked cars.
  • Six roundabouts; give way to the right and signal left on exit.

Route Features

  • Only four sets of traffic lights, one of the lighter counts here.
  • Seven left and eight right turns, a busy mix of junctions.
  • Shops and housing along Greasby Road.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Expect wind and distraction near the seafront, keeping your positioning tidy.
  • Build to 50 mph only where it is signed, easing back for the town sections.
