A circular multi-terrain 5k from the centre of Wootton village, running north towards Woodside Bay past Woodside Bay Lodge Retreat before returning to the village.
Description: A circular route with elevation and mixed terrain, starting in the centre of the town near public toilets, shops and public transport stops. This route is largely on quiet roads; however, the final descent is alongside a busy main road.
Author’s recommendation
Mainly on paved roads and pavements, there is a short section of unmade road halfway along.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
