Nice hilly trail, with signs. Beautiful trees and good path. Best part was the breakaway. good view of the trees out to the farmland.

Supported by great organisations

Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.
