This 14.5 km route heads east from Handsworth through Swallownest to Aston village, exploring quiet lanes and crescents before returning via Mansfield Road, Mosborough Parkway, and Woodhouse via Beaver Hill Road. With only 5 traffic lights, this is the least signal-heavy route, focused on rural and village driving.

Watch Out For

Aston village has narrow single-track lanes with blind bends. Residential crescents have tight corners with parked cars on both sides. The transition from 30 mph village to 50 mph dual carriageway on Chesterfield Road requires prompt acceleration.

Route Features

50 mph on Mosborough Parkway, 70 mph briefly, village navigation in Aston and Swallownest, 5 roundabouts, only 5 traffic lights, and Woodhouse residential streets.

Test Manoeuvres

Pull up on the left near Orgreave Way.

Key Tips

In Aston's residential crescents, be prepared to reverse if you meet oncoming traffic in a narrow section. On Beighton Road, check for cyclists as there is no separate cycle lane. The Woodhouse Mill section near the end has a 20 mph zone by the shops.
