   • In Charlton: This corner is blind to oncoming traffic, so take care

   • Between Charlton and A429, crossing river bridge: This corner has good visibility, however unless you brake early you will cross the white central line, so look out very carefully for oncoming traffic.

2. There are 2 sharp turns at Baydon turn (12.5 miles) and Minety turn (15.3 miles).

3. The descent to the Avon River after the southern Malmesbury RAB is a 30 mph zone. Be aware that drivers may slow to turn into the houses on the left. Care and observance of the Highway Code is required.
