Castle Hill - Ancient Monument

Safety: The area is split into two by A46, where courses cross the A46 you must use the tunnels or bridge. See Safety Assessment Advice Sheet which is to be found at the Gorse Hill start.

The area is actively managed by volunteers. The minor paths and woodland change fairly regularly. The area is part of a flood protection scheme and can be very wet and muddy.

Score Course: The 45-minute score course could be started here. Score Rules: find as many as you can but with penalties if you are late.
