Chawton Park Woods are situated within the South Downs National Park near the village of Chawton. These courses will take you along gravelled paths and smaller trails through beautiful beech trees, Norway maples and whitebeam trees.
Parking
Extensive parking is available at the event centre in the Tongham race track car park at w3w:fine.handrail.busters, grid reference: SU 6888 3656.Please drive slowly through the car park as competitors will be crossing the track to go to the Start.
Travel
Travel from the South West: The event centre is reached by exiting the A31 onto Brick Kiln Lane, continuing up the hill with the signed entrance to the event on the right hand side.
Travel from the North East: The event centre is reached by entering Four Marks, turning right onto Boyneswood Road, following road round to the left onto Five Ash Road, then turning left onto Lymington Bottom Road. This road takes you back to the main road through Four Marks where you turn left to rejoin the A31. After 2-3 kilometres you will turn left to take the narrow Brick Kiln Lane and the signed entrance to the event is up the hill on the right. This route avoids taking the short cut involving turning right from the fast lane of the A31 and crossing two lanes of traffic to enter Brick Kiln Lane.
When exiting from the event it is strongly recommended that all cars turn left out of Brick Kiln Lane onto the A31. Those who wish to travel southwestwards can then go right round the roundabout at Chawton to continue in a southwesterly direction.
Please car share wherever possible. .
