Tenbury Wells

This is a mixed terrain urban/fields course taking in the whole town, the top part of Oldwood Common, and also across the Shropshire border into Burford. During winter, good off-road shoes are recommended as the fields can be very wet. IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a public footpath alongside the high school. As part of the school's policy this path should be closed and locked during school hours (9am-3pm). This path is between checkpoints 8 and 23 and is marked on the map with blue stars and should be avoided during those times. Both 8 and 23 are accessible by other routes. If approaching 23 from the south, you will note that, shortly before the beep, you will pass a short (c. 20 yards) farm track that leads onto the A4112 that is not a public footpath. The A4112 may offer a diversion that is not significantly longer than the marked path. There is a pavement along the whole section of this road.

Phone signal is good in the parking area so you can find and download the course via “Events near me”. If you want to download in advance, you can find in the below directory: UK\Gloucestershire\Worcestershire
