Blackpool Route 1

Blackpool Route 1 covers the roads, junctions and manoeuvres around the test centre that learners commonly meet on test day. Examiners choose the exact route on the day, so there's no single official list — but practising the local roads you're most likely to be sent down is one of the best ways to prepare and to settle test-day nerves.

Blackpool Route 1 is rated moderate (3/5). It's a balanced route — comfortable once you've got the basics, with enough variety to keep you on your toes.

It's about 27.1 km and takes roughly 55 min at a steady test pace. Leave a little extra for traffic and lights, and plan to drive it more than once — most learners find the route clicks into place by the second or third run.

Open Blackpool Route 1 in the Driving Routes app for hands-free, voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation with CarPlay and Android Auto, so a learner driver can keep their eyes on the road while an instructor or supervising driver focuses on coaching.
