Warburton Trail

Warburton
Walking, Horse Riding & Bike Trail
Just 2 minutes away by car and just
4 minutes by bike is the well known and well used Warburton
Trail.
This can be reached at Wellington Road where it crosses the
road or opposite the Wandin North Post Office where there
are excellent parking facilities or else from Burgi Hill Road
at the rear of Wild Cattle Creek Winery.
|
A short 2 minute drive
to join the trail at any of the nearby roadside crossings
gives the tourist the opportunity to walk or ride along
the route of the original train track. The trail,
which begins at Lilydale is open all the way to Warburton
and can be joined at any place along the 38 km trail.
Hosts Bob and Dot are happy to pick up or drop off the intrepid
walkers who wish to attempt the whole or part of the walk.
|
|
|
The trail is well maintained and offers bike riders the opportunity
to ride the whole trail, stopping at various places along the
trail for drinks and refreshments.
For hikers the trail has an easy grade and passes through bushland,
gullies and open country.
For horse riders the trail offers an opportunity to enjoy the
scenery from a vantage spot and to go for a nice long horseride.
