Terrain: Burrough Hill stands 700 feet above sea level and is crowned by the remains of an Iron Age Hill Fort. Enjoy the lovely countryside views to the North. Burrough Hill has patches of open land, deep thickets, isolated trees and some forest areas. We have tried not to make the courses too hilly but it's not easy in a place with "Hill" in it's name! The Cattle can leave deep ruts on softer ground so be careful, especially on downhill sections. Cross-country shoes and gaiters are recommended.
Animals: Cattle and sheep may be in the open land around the hilltop. They are very docile, but please give a respectful distance
