Orienteering

Orienteering courses have now been constructed and mapped out in parts of Bracknell Forest giving you the opportunity to get outside and explore your local parks and countryside!
The mapping of the parks and provision of permanent orienteering courses is part of a project in association with Bracknell Forest Borough Council and Berkshire Orienteers, funded by The Big Lottery Fund.
New courses have been constructed and mapped out at the following sites!
Pope’s Meadow
The course at Pope’s Meadow was installed with the help of Canon volunteers.
Lily Hill
This course has no letters so that you can create your own!
Coming soon!
Orienteering course at Ambarrow Court
About Orienteering
Orienteering is an exciting challenge out in the countryside for both children and adults to find points in the landscape using only a map and a compass. It can be enjoyed either as a competitive sport or merely as a walk around some of the parks and countryside in Bracknell Forest.
A course consists of a start, a series of control sites that are marked by circles, connected by lines and numbered in the order they are to be visited, and a finish.
If you are interested in orienteering at Pope’s Meadow or Lily Hill Park, please contact the Parks & Countryside Service on the details to the right of this page to request a copy of a course map and have a go! Once you have completed the course you can request the answers by contacting us on the same details!
