Although classified as an urban walk, this trail is in the middle of idyllic, peaceful countryside!

A trail in two parts with interpretive signage at all points of interest, the main section is an inviting short 1.5 kilometre walking exploration of the present-day hamlet of Greenhills. The current townsite grew around the railway branch line from York that opened in September 1898 and still has the Greenhills Inn as its hub, as it has been since 1906. 

A short 3 kilometre drive takes you to the old townsite section of the trail which centres on St.Andrew's Church at the crossroads of Penny Drive and the York - Quairading Road. 

The Greenhills Heritage Trail is a community project by the Greenhills Progress Association., who thank all involved, especially Judy Binning, Barbara Ryan and Jenet Ryan whose dedicated efforts over many years have resulted in the information displayed on the trail.

This trail has 2 sections, section 1 is 1.5km, section 2 is 700 metres.
