Cheltenham #792 Pro
A 13.9 km route from Cheltenham DVSA Test Centre completed in about 31 minutes. This route heads north-west through Pittville and Marle Hill into the countryside around Swindon village, reaching 60 mph on Hyde Lane. It includes 7 roundabouts, tied for the most among Cheltenham routes, concentrated around the Swindon Road junction. With only 3 traffic lights but 7 roundabouts, the emphasis is on roundabout lane discipline rather than signal-controlled junctions.
Watch Out For

- Speed change on Hyde Lane. The limit drops from 60 mph to 40 mph as you approach Swindon village. Watch for the speed signs.
- Give way at Swindon village. Visibility is limited by hedgerows. Slow right down and check both directions.
