30mph in built up areas, 50 on single carriage way roads and 60 on dual carriageways and motorways.

However IIRC if the wheels are (I think) more than 4' apart, the limit is 70, because there was a report I saw many years ago about a guy who had invented an extra set of wheels to go on a caravan to improve stability.

He kept getting pulled over by the Police for doing 70 (when the limit was 50 for caravans) and would produce a copy of the law and a tape measure...!
