ストークセントマイケルのおすすめランニングルート

In the valley below Great Elm, a charming bridge crosses the Mells River, with a bench on the riverbank offering a peaceful spot to enjoy the views or take a refreshing dip. A layby on one side of the river provides convenient parking if you'd like to start your journey here.

The café is a little way up Stony Street on the right but putting the highlight in exactly the right place means you can't route a road bike tour to the door without it saying that you have to push so the highlight is at the bottom of the street.

Be prepared for properly muddy and sticky and bumpy bridleways

About half way you come to a left sharp bend, can be some large rocks on the central run just after, go steady!

In the valley below Great Elm there is a little bridge crossing over the Mells River. On the bank of the river is a bench which is a perfect stop either to enjoy the scenery or take a little dip. On one side of the river is a layby for cars to park if you want to start your journey here. There are also public bins here so no excuse to #leavenotrace and keep the countryside litter-free.

Lovely garden and great vegetarian and vegan food.

Entrance into these big open fields where you can join onto a number of footpaths..

You pass through a 5 bar gate off Vallis road and out into these fields - from here you can head down to Vallis veg campsite or to the river which you can follow all the way to Mells.
