A different hike as it offers amazing forest setting and a lovely contour path. Would definitely recommend it if you want a chilled place with no sun

Absolutely beautiful, peaceful and serene. Long trails, lots of options and detours to explore. There are some small waterfalls and streams along the way. You can take your dogs, there aware public toilets and there is parking at the base.

My most favourite spot forso de-stress nature time. Great hike spot that offers so much for every fitness level. Suited for casual walks with dogs or a trail run if you'reup for it. I love the fact that it is very shaded and has beautiful streams and greenery.

A beautiful forest with several trails. It's dog friendly but you must have a permit otherwise you at risk of getting fined when the wardens do checks. Several little streams after the rains. Wear good walking shoes as shine of the paths are rocky and slippery. The forest provides lovely tree shade but there are parts that are open. Take water, hat and don't forget sunscreen.

Beautiful trail, very clean, most amazing views. Gets very busy around 9am so I'd advise an early start and a nice big group of people. It is dog friendly too
