Oswestry Old Racecourse Common Heritage Site

Brilliant walk. Fabulous views. Lots to nature to explore.

Nice free open common with plenty of footpaths into adjoining woods. Fantastic views from the top. The smell of the bluebells at the moment is lovely.

This historic old racecourse site is a nice place to walk with or without dogs. A free car park adjoins the site. Lots of trees and heath like grasslands and the potential for a much longer walk if you head in to the heavily wooded area as the path there connects with others. Peaceful most of the time, it is popular so can get people busy. Beautiful display of bluebells through the woods at that time of the year. Mainly flat terrain but it can get very muddy.Going back to walking the dog there are dog mess bins. If you have a dog the downside is that in parts the road is nearby so you need to keep an eye on your dog to prevent a potential accident.

Fab place for some history and a peaceful stroll. Views have probably diminished over time as tree cover has grown. You'll need to venture off piste to see surrounding vistas if that's why you're going. We added the course onto a walk up offas dyke, so enjoyed the extra, but if you're parking at the site only, expect just the walk.

Great place to walk with dogs - pretty flat, well maintained, plenty of benches & lots of parking space. Wonderful views to enjoy at various stops, & shelter under trees if it's too windy or rainy

It is a really lovely place with some beautiful views . Loved the history details about it .

Nice place for walking the dogs also amazing views too

A nice place with free parking... didn't even know this place existed or that oswestry ever had a race course. Good for walking with or without dogs, some great views and very much quiet and undiscovered feeling.

Great place for a family walk not too long at about 1.5 miles. Has lots of dog walkers. Best time to visit is during the week as gets quite busy at weekend.
