Brockwell Parkrun - Parkrun Tour #21
Brockwell parkrun is a proper test of the legs around the beautiful grounds of Brockwell Park in Herne Hill.
This two lap course never lets you forget it’s built on a hill. From the off, you’re treated to a sloping downhill then deceptively punishing climbs wind up through the park, rewarding your effort with sweeping views across South London and, on a clear day, the city skyline beyond.
What goes up must come down, and the descents are fast and fun, though your quads will know about it by the end. The course is all tarmac paths, and with the park’s mature trees and the lido in the background, it’s one of the more scenic 5ks you’ll find in London.
As always the real reward, of course, comes afterwards. The post-run coffee offers a beautiful setting (inside or out) and just what you need. Cakes & treats selection was one of the best we’ve seen on tour, that somehow taste even better when you’ve earned them.
The event couldn’t find their sign this morning for us tourists to take photos, so we may have to go back with our missing tour buddies for another pic. 📸 Oh and there’s free parking along the road at the lido!
Always a brilliant way to spend a Saturday morning with these gals!
let’s hope to your back soon but this might be a nice hill test for regulars missing Nonsuch 🙌🫶🏻
