Learning to drive in Rhuddlan

Rhuddlan sits on the River Clwyd between Rhyl and St Asaph, and it is a useful place to learn because of where it sits on the road network. The A525 and A547 both run through, which means learners get regular practice at busier junctions and roundabouts without having to drive into a town centre to find them.

It is also close enough to Rhyl that pupils get frequent time on the roads around the test centre in the weeks before their practical.

Rhuddlan Castle sits in the middle of the town and the roads around it give a good mix of tighter, slower driving to balance the faster A road work.
