Routes by region
Running routes in South Coast
The softer, more sheltered side of the county: wooded creeks, estuary paths and coast path that ducks in and out of harbour villages. Generally kinder underfoot than the north, and better served by lanes and ferries when you need to cut a run short, though the climbs in and out of each cove still stack up.
