Marlborough, Fryfield Down car pak
Marlborough is situated in Wiltshire and is easily reached within an hour (or less) from the nearby towns of Dorchester, Weymouth, Bridport and Swanage and the surrounding counties of Wiltshire and Hampshire and Devon.
Marlborough allows for excellent access to a network of footpaths that are ideal for novice map readers and those looking to improve navigation and compass skills.
Those taking part will need to be fit enough to climb up and down a few, but not an excessive number of hills or rolling downland at relaxed learning pace. The total course length is around 10-12KM.
The postcode SN8 1PN will get you to the right area, but NOT the actual car park using a satnav. This is a paid car park and you will need to pay for the parking in addition to the course cost.
Fyfield Down National Nature Reserve, Manton House Estate, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8 1PN
The car park can be reached from the A4 around a mile west of Marlborough. Follow the minor road sign posted 'Manton House and Hollow' all the way to the turn off for the house and the car park is up a short gravel drive on the left.
