This is a super fun downhill section that takes you from the North Road entrance to Leigh Woods down to the Pill Path. The descent is gradual to begin with and becomes increasingly steep beyond a set of steps. The way the path weaves and undulates makes it a pleasure to run. Of course, it also makes for a great challenge when running back up.

Great for hill training. Wear trail shoes & watch out for the rock steps when it’s wet!
