Bridgend #1565 Free
This 16.22 km route runs about 30 minutes over one stage, joining Bridgend to the villages of Ewenny and Corntown at limits from 30 to 50 mph. It is the only route here that never drops to a 20 mph limit, and it leans on judgement at five give way junctions rather than lights.
Watch Out For
- Five give way junctions where you must read gaps and emerge safely.
- A school zone where the limit falls and children may be near the road.
- Seven roundabouts, giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.
Route Features
- A country run out toward Corntown Road through open fields.
- Narrow village lanes along Wick Road to the south.
Test Manoeuvres
- You may be asked to pull up on the left and drive on.
Key Tips
- Approach each give way slowly and be ready to stop if you cannot see far.
- Hold a steady 40 mph on the rural sections and watch for oncoming traffic.
