This 19.6 km route is one of the longer Handsworth loops. It starts with a local circuit through Dodson Drive and Orgreave Lane, heads east via Coalbrook Road in Woodhouse Mill to Swallownest, south on Mosborough Parkway, then west through Normanton Hill and Richmond before returning. Twenty-two traffic lights and 50 mph Parkway sections throughout.

Watch Out For

Coalbrook Road is a narrow residential street with speed humps. Normanton Hill has a steep downhill section with a junction at the bottom. The give-way near Richmond Park has fast traffic from the right.

Route Features

50 mph on Mosborough Parkway, 70 mph briefly on Chesterfield Road, residential driving through Handsworth and Richmond, 4 roundabouts, 22 traffic lights, and varied terrain.

Test Manoeuvres

Pull up on the left near Orgreave Way.

Key Tips

The Woodhouse Mill estate section has multiple speed humps - slow down smoothly rather than braking hard at each one. On Orgreave Lane, the road narrows at parked cars. The Normanton Hill / Woodhouse Road junction requires careful positioning for the left turn.
