Southern Country Park
We are delighted to announce that the Permanent Orienteering Course in Southern Country Park, Bishops Stortford has now been fully renovated and is open for everyone to use. It’s a great way to explore all parts of the park such as the woodland, the grazing areas, the chalk banks, the streams and the pond.
Exercise your body and your mind as you navigate round the various Control Posts using the brand new Orienteering map. There are three trails to choose from, suitable for all ages, fitness levels and abilities. You can walk, jog or run round - whatever suits you, at a time of your own choosing. If you haven’t orienteered before, watch this short introductory video to get started.
All you need is your free Orienteering map, a pair of good outdoor shoes and a sense of adventure! What are you waiting for?
A big thank you to both East Herts District Council for their support, and The Friends of Southern Country Park for all their hard work fixing the missing, rotten and loose Control Posts and plaques, and clearing the undergrowth (keep up to date with all their renovation and conservation work via their Facebook page).
