The gravel lakeside trail along much of the western shore offers wonderful, flat ish running with easy underfoot terrain. The mountains and rocky trails in the Lake District are awesome but it's so nice to run on easier ground sometimes. Brilliant for speed work, tempo running or just a great easy run where you can chat and take in the views without having to constantly watch your feet.
This is also popular with cyclists and families so you do need to pay a bit of attention.
