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.
