Swift Valley and Eden Park Informal MapRun

Swift Valley Nature Reserve
Informal MapRun courses using both Swift Valley Nature Reserve and Eden Park - a new-build residential area and associated open parkland.
The nature reserve is mainly grassland with a pronounced ancient ridge and furrow character and is relatively flat. A disused arm of the Oxford Canal separate the nature reserve from Eden Park which is built on a 35m slope. Between Eden Park and the footbridge into Swift Valley Nature Reserve there is an area of runnable woodland. Note that the Long course visits a small part of Brownsover estate with a timed out road crossing back to Eden Park..
