This loop is one of Concord’s most beautiful routes, weaving through shaded forest, small streams, and ponds near Walden Pond. It is well-marked and fun to run, with varied terrain that keeps you moving and paying attention.

The trail passes river views, the ruins of an old stone chimney, and an old boathouse tucked into the trees. Moving from Adam Woods toward Mt. Misery, the landscape opens into pastures where cows sometimes graze. The short climb to the summit adds a burst of effort before the trail drops back into quiet woods.

The Vale Royal Round is a 50k/31m trail loop in Cheshire offering excellent off-road running and great views.

It includes scenic paths alongside the Rivers Weaver and Dane and the Trent and Mersey Canal. The historic Grade II* listed viaduct at Dutton (the longest on the Grand Junction Railway) is passed under and historic locks are also crossed there and at Vale Royal. The Grade I listed Anderton Boat Lift, known as one of the Seven Wonders of the Waterways and the 'Cathedral of the Canals', is also passed.
