Location: St Abbs, Scotland

Embark on a captivating coastal run at St Abb's Head, setting off from the Nature Reserve Car Park. This 5.2km loop begins with a tarmac stretch, soon climbing steeply towards the iconic lighthouse. The route then transitions to exhilarating clifftop paths, offering a truly immersive experience with the dramatic Scottish coastline.

Ideal for those seeking a scenic adventure, this run boasts incredible panoramic views on a clear day. Be prepared for narrow, exposed sections and steep drops, making it a thoughtful choice for runners who appreciate a challenging and visually rewarding experience over more technical terrain, rather than a flat, fast training run.
