Running at Hole Farm Woodland

Running trails at Hole Farm Woodland

Looking for your next running challenge with stunning countryside views? 

Hole Farm Woodland offers two waymarked trail-running routes to suit different abilities. Both trails cross the M25 footbridge into neighbouring Folkes Lane Woodland and include sections of unsurfaced woodland paths and grass rides. Please choose a route that matches your fitness level and experience, and be aware that some sections may be uneven or muddy, particularly during wetter months.

5 km trail (3.1 miles) 

A gently undulating loop that follows part of the Parker's Shaw Loop. Enjoy a mix of woodland and open countryside views, with a few moderate climbs along the route to keep things interesting.

10km trail (6.2 miles)

A more demanding route designed for experienced trail runners. This challenging loop features steeper inclines, longer distances and sections of unsurfaced terrain that can become muddy and slippery at certain times of year, providing an invigorating off-road running experience.
