The longest Maybush route at 26.2 km and 55 minutes. It heads north from Lower Brownhill Road through Nursling, north-east to Rownhams and North Baddesley, then returns south via Lordshill through Shirley Warren and Upper Shirley. The only route venturing into rural Hampshire with 60 mph national speed limit roads and country lanes.

Watch Out For

Rownhams Lane is a narrow country lane with blind bends and no street lighting. North Baddesley has 30 mph village streets with parked cars. A school zone near Nursling drops to 20 mph. The 60 mph sections require confident overtaking judgement.

Route Features

60 mph on Rownhams Lane and Botley Road, rural country lanes, village driving in North Baddesley, school zone, 4 roundabouts, only 9 traffic lights, and 14 right turns (the most of any Maybush route).

Test Manoeuvres

Pull up on the left near Lower Brownhill Road.

Key Tips

On the country lanes, position well to the left and expect oncoming traffic around blind bends. In North Baddesley, the speed limit changes frequently. This long route requires stamina - stay focused through the final suburban sections.
