Bromyard is a compact town on the banks of the River Frome. Whilst small, elevation is noticeable with approximately 80m height range between highest and lowest points.
The course makes full use of the town and roads leading from it. All checkpoints can be visited via tarmac roads with pavements - the footpaths across fields may be muddy in winter. The A44 runs across the town - there is a 40mph speed limit but visibility is good and the road is not normally busy. If not confident, make use of the central refuges or subway adjacent to checkpoint 1. During periods of prolonged intense rainfall checkpoint 26 may not be accessible due to flooding.
Parking In Rowberry Street car park (pay and display). On-street parking is available on Old Road. Do NOT park in Kirkham Gardens, which is residents-only.Start Beside the porch on the East side of the council officesTerrain The town of Bromyard and roads leading from it.
