This 18.6 km route combines two distinct sections. First, a western loop through Richmond to Normanton Hill and Dyke Vale Road, south to Birley Spa Lane in Hackenthorpe. Then east via Mosborough Parkway at 50 mph, north on Sheffield Parkway, and returns via Richmond Park Road. A good all-rounder with 20 mph residential zones and 50 mph dual carriageway.

Watch Out For

The Normanton Hill steep descent requires engine braking. Birley Spa Lane has a narrow bridge crossing. The give-way near Richmond Park has fast traffic from the right, and two 50 mph zones on Handsworth Road start abruptly.

Route Features

50 mph on Mosborough Parkway and Sheffield Parkway, residential 20 mph in Richmond and Richmond Park, 3 roundabouts, 15 traffic lights, and a steep hill descent.

Test Manoeuvres

Pull up on the left near Orgreave Way.

Key Tips

On Dyke Vale Road, the road twists through a valley - maintain steady speed and position. The Richmond Park area has 20 mph zones with humps. At Richmond Park Avenue, watch for pedestrians crossing to the park.
