This 10.0-mile, 28-minute route shares a similar northern loop with routes 635 and 641, heading through Park Road to George Street Ringway in Bedworth, then via Reynolds Road in Collycroft to the Bedworth Bypass. However, its return is distinctive: after the bypass, it heads west on Winding House Lane through Ash Green, looping via St Giles Road and Church Lane before returning through The Grove. With 5 roundabouts and 17 turns (7 left, 10 right), it balances Bedworth town driving with quiet Ash Green village roads. Speed limits span 30 to 70 mph.

Watch Out For

  • George Street Ringway. Multi-lane road through Bedworth centre; busy with signals and requires quick lane changes.
  • Sutherland Drive. Narrow Collycroft residential road; parked cars create single-file traffic situations.
  • Pedestrian crossing near Bedworth. Frequently used crossing on the approach to the town centre.
  • Winding House Lane. Transitional road from the dual carriageway area to village-style lanes; speed drops from 50 to 30 mph.
  • Church Lane, Ash Green. Village road with limited width and potential for agricultural vehicles in rural sections.

Route Features

  • Combines the Bedworth town centre loop (shared with routes 635 and 641) with an Ash Green village return
  • 5 roundabouts including the Griff cluster on the Bedworth Bypass
  • 13 traffic signals concentrated in the Bedworth sections
  • Scenic contrast between urban Bedworth and rural Ash Green

Key Tips

  • The Bedworth Bypass to Ash Green transition requires you to adjust driving style from high-speed to village-pace within a short distance
  • In Collycroft, when passing parked cars, check for doors opening and pedestrians stepping out
  • Church Lane and The Grove are quiet but the examiner still expects full observation at every junction
