Running

Garstons Downs has been listed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) since 1971 as it is an important area of untouched chalkland. It can be fairly quiet up here compared to the more visited coastal downlands so a run up here should give you a wonderful opportunity to bathe in nature.

Hiking

Fantastic extensive views across the Island. Following the whole round route from Shorwell allows views of all sides of the Island. A highly recommended route!
