This Felixstowe Road circuit runs about 12.2 miles over roughly 32 minutes in a single stage, linking Priory Heath, Broke Hall, Kesgrave and Bucklesham on the north and east edge of Ipswich. Speed limits climb from 30 up to 70 mph, so you shift between town streets and faster open roads. It is one of the longer routes worked from this centre, yet it keeps only a handful of turns, so the challenge is holding speed and lane discipline rather than constant junction work.

Watch Out For

  • Seven roundabouts where you give way to the right and signal left as you leave.
  • Twelve sets of traffic lights, several on the faster Heath Road and Foxhall Road corridors.
  • Three give way junctions merging onto busier roads.

Route Features

  • Faster open roads reaching out to Woodbridge Road East and the Kesgrave fringe.
  • The limit rises to 70 mph on the quicker sections between the built-up areas.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Check your mirrors early before each speed change so your position stays smooth.
  • Plan lane choice ahead of the roundabouts to avoid late corrections.
