New marked running routes in Yeovil

If you are new to running or just fancy a new route that has been marked out then there are two new 3-2-1 marked routes in Yeovil.

The first is down at Ninesprings - one of my favourite training venues and definitely undulating and scenic ! The official course description is as follows:
 

Ninesprings is a picturesque, traffic free and easily accessible part of Yeovil Country Park situated close to Yeovil town centre.The network of paths and tracks with some steady hill climbs provides improving runners with the perfect place to improve their fitness. The Country Park is popular with walkers, runners and cyclists and is a great place to get active.

Ninesprings 321 is a 3km circular route, based on loose gravel tracks and some tarmacked pavements. The route includes some steps and would be unsuitable for wheelchair users or those with push chairs. The route is undulating with a few steady climbs to raise your heart rate, there are several benches along the route should you need a resting point!

The route is well signed using run england 321 way markers on oak posts and gates, with country park rangers on hand should you require any assistance.

The second route is off Lyde Road (left)  and goes down by the river which can get quite muddy after heavy rain. The course description is:
A picturesque, traffic free and easily accessible part of Yeovil Country Park situated on the edge of Yeovil in beautiful South Somerset Countryside.

The network of paths running alongside the river provides runners with a gentle prodominatly flat running route. Lyde Road 321 is a 3km circular route, based on loose gravel tracks and grassed paths.

And with a bit of basic navigation you join the two runs together to make a much longer effort ...
