The trail can take anything from an hour to a whole day, depending on how much you stop and do along the way. There are lots of trees and structures to climb on, but be careful because they might be muddy and slippery. It’s a perfect family day out.

There are plenty of walks to choose from on Box Hill, but this one is perfect for a first visit so you can get to know the area.

Remember to prepare properly before heading out on any type of walk or outdoor activity. Tell people where you are going and what time you are expected back. As Wainwright says "There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing".
