Suitability

Suitable for walkers and families looking for an easy ride for the younger ones. Dogs allowed on-lead on the loop (but not in playgrounds).

Highlights

This walk is a great loop along the Brightwater waterfront. Just ask any of the keen community runners who attend the Parkrun there on Saturday mornings!

Flat and easy it provides a fabulous circuit for first time riders to get on their bike for a decent length. All with the easy access to follow up with some rewards for a ride well done!

Along the way there are multiple parks to stop in and check out, with some excellent picnic spaces.

As an aside, there are a couple of lake access points to go for a paddle instead, if you are inclined to get on the water.
