This 17.9 km route heads north-west on Handsworth Road to Prince of Wales Road, through Bowden Wood onto Sheffield Parkway, then east to Catcliffe and Waverley via Highfield Spring, returning along Highfield Lane and Handsworth Grange Road. Nine roundabouts and 50 mph zones make this a well-rounded challenge.

Watch Out For

Six 50 mph speed markers on the Parkway corridor change frequently. The Bowden Wood estate roads are narrow with sharp bends. Two pedestrian crossings near the Parkway and a give-way on Highfield Lane need anticipation.

Route Features

50 mph on Sheffield Parkway and Highfield Lane, new-build navigation at Waverley, residential Bowden Wood, 9 roundabouts, 24 traffic lights, and varied speed limits.

Test Manoeuvres

Pull up on the left near Orgreave Way.

Key Tips

On Poplar Way in Catcliffe, the road layout through the industrial area can be confusing - follow directional signs. The Bramley Lane residential section has a 20 mph zone that is easy to overshoot. At Europa Link roundabout, choose lanes early as traffic moves fast.
