The routes will showcase much of the conservation and land management work the National Trust has undertaken over recent years.


From the start at the Hare & Hounds in Holcombe Brook, there will be a dash through Redisher Woods before commencing the short, steep climb up to Peel Tower. A good runnable stretch along the bridleway before ascending up onto the moor by Beetle Hill.

The 10K route will contour to Pilgrims Cross, then over Harcles Hill, before descending back from Peel Tower, enjoying more of Redisher Wood Nature Reserve.

The 10 Mile route will contour around Bull Hill, picking up the mosses and head towards Crowthorn and Quarlton Heights. Following the bridleway to cross Red Brook, before an ascent to Pilgrims Cross, where you will rejoin the route to finish.
