Hampstead Heath is an ancient, preserved area of open heathland within the boundaries of London. It's a brilliant area to explore at a run with some actual hills to train on. Parliament Hill in the south offers great views across to the city but the highest point is to the north at over 426 ft (130 m). It's a great place for open water swimming with a men's, a women's and a mixed pond available. You can swim all year if you fancy it or just aim here on a hot day and cool off mid run.
