A 7.9-mile route to Solihull via Widney Lane and back through Warwick Road, similar to Route #350. Mainly 30 mph with 8 roundabouts and 10 traffic lights. About 30 minutes.

Watch Out For

  • Church Hill Road. Sharp curves require early braking. Do not cut the corner.
  • Sharmans Cross Road speed bumps. Take them at 15-20 mph. Going faster can unsettle the car.
  • Woodlea Drive. Residential with a 20 mph zone. Easy to miss the sign and overshoot the speed.
  • Jacey Road. Narrow with cars parked tight to the kerb. Mirrors before passing each parked car.
