They looked at social media posts and route details to find the best spots for new runners. Derwentwater tied for first place with Tennyson Down on the Isle of Wight.
After your run, there are plenty of cafes nearby to grab a bite or a drink. Just remember to stay hydrated, especially if you’re planning to run the full distance.
Even though it’s an easy route, it’s smart to know your limits. If you need a break, walking briskly for a bit can help you catch your breath.
