1. About Upton Test Centre from a Learner’s View

Located on Wealstone Lane CH2 1HD near Chester Zoo, the centre has four bays at the back of a health centre. A calming lap through the Upton‑by‑Chester Golf Club car‑park steadies the clutch leg.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Reverse‑bay usually leads. Independent driving often tackles the A41 ring, joins M53 J12 then returns via A5116—watch for 50‑to‑30 drops and zoo traffic. Emergency stops on Plas Newton Lane straight; mirrors checked at the Countess roundabout chain.
