The route of the North Downs Run passes through some of the finest scenery in Southern England. Starting at Cascades Leisure Centre, Thong Lane, Gravesend, runners will make their way to Shorne Village, and then through Cobham Park into the Cuxton Valley.  They will reach Holly Hill because descending into Great Buckland.  It is then across the fields to Luddesdown Court (and Cricket Pitch Hill!), before reaching Henley Street.  The route then passes through apple and pear orchards into the village of Cobham.  Finally ,its through Jeskyns Nature Reserve & Ashenbank Wood and into scenic Shorne Wood Country Park for a seriously challenging uphill section before emerging onto the Shorne-Ifield road and the path back across the fields to Cascades Leisure Centre for the Finish.  (Not suitable for wheelchairs).
