At 21.7 km, this is the longest route from Mallusk, taking around 33 minutes. It heads northwest along Old Coach Road through Clady and out to Lylehill Road near Templepatrick before returning via Antrim Road. With only 2 traffic signals and 1 roundabout, the route focuses on open-road driving at 60 mph rather than busy junctions. The 9 left turns and 6 right turns are mostly at rural T-junctions.

Watch Out For

• Lylehill Road rural bends. Narrow country lanes with limited visibility. Approach bends at a speed that lets you stop within the distance you can see.
• Extended 60 mph sections. You must build up to the speed limit on national speed limit roads. Driving too slowly on Antrim Road can attract a driving fault.
• Old Coach Road junctions. Rural T-junctions with poor sightlines. Creep forward carefully and use peep-and-creep technique.
