    Tips

    Running

    This wide gravel trail follows the eastern shore of Thirlmere reservoir above the busy A591. It's not technical but fun to run with great views. If you're in a group there is space to run side by side, a nice change from many of the mountain trails near here. A much better alternative to the road if you’re running a loop of the reservoir or a great few miles of easy terrain if your running from the Swirls car park and don't fancy Helvellyn.
    Watch out for bikes though as it's a popular gravel trail.
