서머튼 주변 최고의 러닝 경로

In the woods of East Somerton are the ruins of St Mary’s church, with glassless windows, tumbling walls, and a tower where you can look up into the open sky. From the 15th-century, St Mary’s went from serving its own parish to becoming part of the larger parish of West Somerton. It fell into disuse in the 17th-century and has remained abandoned. The most striking feature is a tree in the centre of the ruins, known as “The Witch’s Leg.”

Beautiful dunes with stunning sea views.

A truly magical place, St Mary's Church has been wrapped back up in nature since it was abandoned in the 17th century. The size of the oak tree that rises up in the centre of the ruins tells you just how long it has been since worshippers set foot inside. Legend has it that the tree grew from the wooden leg of a witch who was buried here.

Running along the footpath through the dunes and you really feel like you are a million miles from everywhere. Expansive views and golden sand. Beautiful.

A stunning place to run and certainly somewhere to blow out the cobwebs in winter. Winterton Beach is a long stretch of golden sand backed by dunes. Between October and March you may spot seals so please ensure any movement does not disturb them. There may be pups and seals giving birth. Please also keep to the footpaths to help limit damage to the fragile sand dunes.

Winterton Beach has an unspoiled sandy shoreline, sand dunes, and the opportunity to witness seal colonies in their natural habitat. The road leading up to the beach has suffered dramatic erosion at the end. There's a great cafe called Norfolk's Edge right next to the beach.

The helpers and conservationists give valuable tips on where the groups can best be seen at the moment and they protect these dear animals and discourage some unreasonable tourists from getting too close to the seals. At the end of October I was able to see a few dozen young seal families. Good close-ups were possible with a 5x zoom lens.
