This 9.3 mile route takes about 33 minutes in a single stage across Gibbonsdown, Cadoxton and Palmerstown, with limits from 20 to 50 mph. It carries 14 roundabouts and an even split of seven left and seven right turns, and it uses fewer traffic lights, six, than the other Cadoxton loop at Barry.

Watch Out For

  • Fourteen roundabouts. Give way to the right and signal left as you leave each exit.
  • A school area with a reduced limit, with a pedestrian crossing immediately after inside the same short stretch.
  • A give way junction east of the docks where traffic arrives at speed.

Route Features

  • The fast link out on Barry Docks Link Road.
  • Shops and bus stops along Holton Road, then quiet estate streets at West Walk.
  • Limits run from 20 mph in town up to 50 mph on the faster sections, so speed changes are frequent.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Set your speed before each roundabout rather than braking on the give way line.
