Bluebell Woods on Monarch's Way, Grovely Wood

Highlight • Forest

Grovely Wood is one of Wiltshire's largest mixed woodlands and there's loads of trail running potential here. Particularly beautiful in spring, the chalk ridge it woodland adorns is a delight all year round. This section is part of the Monarch's Way, a 625-mile (1,006 km) long-distance trail that represents the escape route taken by King Charles II after his defeat at the battle of Worcester.

First Broad Drive, Grovely Woods

Highlight • Historical Site

First Broad Drive is an arrow-straight avenue through the heart of Grovely Woods. It's easy to pick up speed along this section; usually straight lines are something of a rarity where trail running is concerned. Unsurprisingly, given its trajectory, it was once part of a Roman road, a section of a trade route that connected the Mendips to the English Channel.
