This 9.4km out-and-back route offers a remarkably flat and fast running experience through the heart of the Somerset Levels. Starting at Middle Drove near Glastonbury, you’ll follow the serene waters of the South Drain, a straight-line watercourse that provides a perfect psychological marker for tempo runs or steady-state training. With zero elevation gain and a mix of paved paths and well-maintained trails, the terrain is accessible for runners of all abilities looking to find their rhythm amidst the expansive, low-lying landscape of the Mendip district.
The turnaround point at Ham Wall Nature Reserve is a true local gem, world-renowned for its incredible biodiversity and the spectacular "starling murmurations" during winter months. As you run through this wetland wilderness, you are traversing land steeped in ancient history; this area was once a shallow sea and later home to prehistoric lake villages. Today, the reserve is a haven for rare species like the Bittern and Great White Egret, making it a peaceful, restorative escape where the only sounds accompanying your footfalls are the calls of local waterfowl and the rustle of reed beds.
