A gorgeous trail on outskirts of Pershore, Bredon hill is great for some trail running fun. Its got hills, woodland, great views (on a clear day) and quite a few sheep, oh and did I mention the hills? In February expect it to be cold and windy on the top, there is likely to be lots of mud and possibly some ice so make sure you wrap up warm and dry for this women’s only guided trail run.
We’ll begin our run from The Polka Dot Teapot, from here we’ll run out of the village and up Hill Lane (there’s a clue) towards Doctors Wood, from here we’ll make our way across the ridgeway to join the Wychavon Way and to the famous Banbury Stone (or as its known locally, Elephant Rock). If the weather is clear a view of the Malverns will come into view. After a photo stop, we’ll then head off the back of Bredon Hill, looping back around to Fiddlers Knap and past the ancient ruins of the Castle in Elmley Castle. Finally a fun and muddy descent back down into the village via St Mary’s church.
If the weather is wet expect lots of mud, hence why trail shoes with good grip is essential for this run, but its all part of the trail running charm.
We’ll finish the run back at the Polka Dot Tea Pot, where I hope you’ll stay for a hot drink and a slice of cake.

Booking for a friend? – Please ensure you book them separately so I have both your details including each individual email, rather than under one person’s name & email. Sorry it will mean checking out twice but as I’ll need ICE details its the only way I can do it.
