Southport Beach has a wide and flat expanse of sand, making it an ideal surface for running. The beach is approximately 22 miles long, providing ample space for runners to complete their workouts without feeling crowded. The flat terrain also makes it an excellent location for interval training and speed work.

Delamere Forest provides many gentle forest trails ideal for the walkers, runners and cyclists. During my visit I also saw many families with children walking around the pathways. There is also a cycle hire facility on site which is perfect if you do not own your own bike or a spontaneous trip brought you to Delamere without your own. There are two cycling routes marked out within the forest, both are classified as forest road routes.

There is ample space to go running around Tatton Park, with 1,000 acres to enjoy. Most of the park is excellent for walking all year round, but in wetter months there may be patches which can be a little slippery especially for running. This wouldn't put me off running here because the site is so big and there are plenty of options available.

Tegg’s Nose is believed to have been an active quarry site from the 1500’s until 1955. There are some pieces of mining equipment still on display for visitors to have a look around. The views over the Cheshire Plain from Tegg's Nose are amazing and on a clear day you can see as far as Liverpool’s cathedrals and the Welsh hills beyond. During my visit the views were not as clear but I could certainly see Jodrell Bank and beyond.
