Trail running is more of a fun activity for some than road running as it allows them to go for a run without any traffic or fumes and far less pedestrians around, even more applicable on an early run. Beginners will likely prefer it also if they're not in the best of shapes as the fact that there are less people around means there is less chance that they will feel embarrassed. The UK has some wonderful routes and here are a just a few of the very best.
The Jurassic Coast. The name is perfectly apt as there is a rumour which says dinosaurs once called here home. And, in fact, fossils which have resurfaced have shed new evidence on that theory. He route is over 150km and lasts for about seven days. Starting in Exmouth, Devon, it reveals some stunning views, before ending in Dorset.
Pennine Way National Trail. This was the UK's first National Trail and even today, after its opening in 1965, remains one of the country's favourites. It offers some of the best views of any other trail including Scotland, which it crosses into, and three national parks. It also offers landmarks such as cascading waterfalls and limestone cliffs.
Dorset Inland Heritage Trail. The trail generally lasts for four days and extends to 75km. You will see some historical sites in the form the remains of Celtic and Roman Hill fortifications. Other tears of nature include English villages with thatched cottages and wildlife such as deer and pheasants.
Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail. This should take around seven days. It covers 130km and traverses the Northumbria, Tyneside, and Cumbria regions. It starts in Wallsend and follows the line of Hadrian's Wall. Parts of the wall can still be seen and there are reminders of the Roman Empire, which, at one time, ruled England. The trail isn't the hardest with the highest point not extending beyond 400 metres.
