Longshaw Ranger Run

The Longshaw estate in the heart of the Peak District is a runner's paradise. This 6km (3.8 miles) run winds through ancient woods, open moors, and farmland, showcasing important sites on the estate and the work that rangers are doing to preserve the local countryside. Look out for curlews, skylarks and pied flycatchers as well as flower-rich meadows and a Bronze Age funerary cairn. This route was created with help from trail runners Jen and Sim Benson, as part of the Ranger Run series.
