Learning to drive in Towyn
Towyn sits on the A548 coast road west of Kinmel Bay and it has a driving character all of its own. The village is known for its caravan parks and its market, and that means traffic here changes dramatically with the season.
For a learner that is genuinely valuable. Driving the same roads in quiet February conditions and again in busy August traffic teaches you to read a road rather than memorise it, which is exactly what an examiner is looking for.
Towyn is within easy reach of Rhyl test centre along the coast road.
