Haslemere is a great place to start a trail run. It has a railway station with frequent trains from London or Portsmouth and is surrounded by beautiful common land, hills and woodlands. You can run to the Devil's Punchbowl, Blackdown, Marley Common and into the South Downs National Park from here. There are also plenty of places to eat and drink afterwards too. Hemmingway's is always a popular option if you love cake.
