For some pastoral running passing by fields, farms, and meadows, we recommend the series of trails just west of Stratford. A series of paths runs between Alcester Rd. and Evesham Rd. Anne Hathaway’s cottage, the family home of Shakespeare’s wife, is a good anchor point. The paths are unnamed and a bit random, but we’ve mapped a loop of nearly 5 miles, with some overlap. The paths head as far west as the Evesham Autograss Club. It’s open, rolling hill terrain.
