It is a mix of woodland and open hillside and a good site for butterflies, deer, birdlife, fungi and running! It is owned by Trustees who live in the parish and conservation work is supported by the Coppett Hill Common Trust. There will be a donation to the trust from the race proceeds. The permissive paths give access to the reserve as well as offering views stretching from the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains to the Clee Hills in Shropshire and the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire. The reserve is within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_2772.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8992\" src=\"http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_2772.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_2772.png 1024w, http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_2772-300x300.png 300w, http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_2772-150x150.png 150w, http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_2772-768x768.png 768w, http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_2772-144x144.png 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>2025 Route:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Coppett-24-v1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8880 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Coppett-24-v1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"689\" height=\"989\" srcset=\"http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Coppett-24-v1.jpg 689w, http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Coppett-24-v1-209x300.jpg 209w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 689px) 100vw, 689px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>By agreement of the Coppett Hill Common Trust and of the Courtfield Estate, we have devised a fell race route up and over the hill. It may be the little brother of the Brecon Beacons Hills further to the west, but it still packs in all you need from a fell race. Starting in Goodrich, the route steeply climbs out of the village, up the steps to the trig point. A quick traverse across open hillside to a sharp right, down a fast, grassy descent. Quick left at the bottom, then a change to the old route &#8211; You keep going traversing the hill, through woodland (mind your head), over a stile then onto a grassy riverbank path, taking under the limestone cliffs of Symonds Yat. After a mile or so, take the left and go up the long drag back up the hill. Back on top, traverse the top ridge, until a the path forks of left and back down the first descent, but turn right at the end to head back down to Goodrich and finishing at the village hall.<\/p>\n<p>The course will be marked and marshaled. Please stay to the route, rather than taking any \u2018fell runner\u2019 shortcuts! The race is run under WFRA rules &#8211; CATEGORY&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; BS \/ PM. Due to the time of year and accessibility of course, kit will not be required. Over 16. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">All competitors run at their own risk!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Race organiser: Dan Sandford. 07775 508753.&nbsp;<u><a href=\"mailto:howlingbullrun@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">howlingbullrun@gmail.com<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to our sponsors and supporters:<\/p>\n<p>Coppett Hill Common Trust <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coppett-hill.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.coppett-hill.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Courtfield Estate.<\/p>\n<p>Old pre-2023 route below:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8008 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Coppett-Fell-route-1b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1029\" height=\"703\" srcset=\"http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Coppett-Fell-route-1b.jpg 1029w, http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Coppett-Fell-route-1b-300x205.jpg 300w, http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Coppett-Fell-route-1b-768x525.jpg 768w, http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Coppett-Fell-route-1b-1024x700.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1029px) 100vw, 1029px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forest of Dean AC presents: THE COPPETT HILL FELL RACE Saturday 21st March 2026 .
