Orienteering routes for everyone from beginners to experts

Orienteering with the Forestry Commission England.

Why not try your hand at orienteering, a map reading challenge for all levels?

The aim for everyone is to navigate between control points marked on an orienteering map. If you are a little more competitive the challenge is to complete the course in the quickest time.

Various trails are available for children and families, beginners and experts.

  • Yellow: for beginners and mostly on tracks and paths.
  • Orange: suited to the intermediate level where most of the controls are close to paths.
  • Green: a longer route over tough terrain for more experienced participants.
