To walk Tinglebell, you'll need to follow the Ancient Myth route which is a 7.2km loop walk. Starting at the Giants Trailhead or the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk, you will combine Tinglebell with the Glass Slipper and the Bibblumun Track to make a 7.2km loop. 

Tinglebell is named for the bell shaped fruit of the red tingle trees. Although only about 8mm long, these fruit hold the seeds to some of largest trees in Australia. Red tingles may not reach the lofty heights of the karri trees but their buttressed bases can reach over 20m in circumference.

Tinglebell is the perfect way to appreciate the beauty of the tingle forest on foot. Tiny, colourful fungi and bright wildflowers nestle among the giant trees while delicate wrens and robins flit through the undergrowth.
