Bridgend #1558 Free
At 20.21 km and around 34 minutes, this is the longest route run from Bridgend, spreading out through Lâleston, Merthyr Mawr and Tythegston. It is also the only route here that reaches 70 mph, so the speed range runs from 20 all the way up, crossing 11 roundabouts along the way.
Watch Out For
- The 70 mph section, the fastest at this centre, where you must judge gaps and keep good spacing.
- Eleven roundabouts, giving way to the right and signalling left as you leave.
- A school zone where the limit drops and children may be near the road.
Route Features
- Open runs out west toward Bridgend Road before returning to town.
- A busy roundabout near the 50 mph stretch on the western side.
Test Manoeuvres
- Expect to pull up on the left and pull away safely.
Key Tips
- Build speed smoothly onto the 70 mph section and check mirrors before each change.
- With only 13 sets of lights, most decisions here happen at roundabouts, so plan your exit early.
