What Learning to Drive in Ash Is Really Like
Ash is a village that happens to sit between two test centres, which gives learners here a real choice. It is quiet enough to learn the basics on your own streets, and a few minutes from the A331 and the A31 when you need faster roads.
Most lessons in Ash start on the residential roads around Ash Street and Shawfield Road, then head out towards Aldershot or along the Guildford Road as you progress.
Ash Hill Road
A steady climb that is ideal for learning hill starts and controlling your speed on the way back down.
A323 Guildford Road
The main road through the village, with changing speed limits as it leaves the houses behind.
A331 access
A short drive away, giving you dual-carriageway practice without a long journey to reach it.
Should I take my test at Farnborough or Guildford if I live in Ash?
Either is realistic from Ash. We will talk it through on your first lesson, look at where you are most comfortable driving, and then run your later lessons on the roads around the centre you choose.
Do lessons in Ash stay in the village?
Only at the start. Ash is good for learning the controls, but you need busier roads to reach test standard, so lessons soon extend into Aldershot, Farnborough or towards Guildford.
