If you’re taking lessons with a local ADI, they’ll take you to Rhyl test centre early on in your learning journey. This will give you the chance to build up a familiarity with the roads likely to crop up on your route. Of course, if your enthusiasm has gotten the better of you, and you’re looking to catch a peek before your lessons, use these directions!
There’s certainly plenty of road types and traffic conditions for learners to cut their teeth on in Rhyl. The test centre itself is surrounded by tight, busy roads that are likely to put your hazard perception skills to the test due to errant pedestrians. As you move away from the centre, you’ll encounter bustling A roads like the A525 and A547, which will test your ability to move between different speed systems safely. Quiet residential areas, like those around Prestatyn, are also likely to be the battleground for your manoeuvre demonstration.

44.7% | 48.2% | 47.9% | 45.4% | 46.4% |
