Wild and rugged: welcome to Highfield Country Park. The 70-acres of park land are mostly not manicured, allowing wild grasses and trees to hug the small paths through the woodland. The park does a good job at shutting out the hustle and bustle of one of the UK's biggest cities, and you will barely see another building. The park has been a designated Local Nature Reserve since 2008. You can find more information about the park here: highfieldcountrypark.org.uk

Watch your line on the narrow woodland paths — they twist more than you expect, and the surface changes fast.
