Railway Reserve Heritage Trail

The Railway Reserve Heritage Trail follows the routes of two former railways and is unique in providing a 40 kilometre loop entirely on railway formations.

The length of this extensive trail, spanning from Bellevue to Mount Helena in the Perth hills, provides a challenge for walkers and riders. It covers a wide range of terrains with scenic views and numerous points of historical and natural significance. Attractions include a disused railway tunnel, views from John Forrest National Park (including waterfalls in winter / spring), Mundaring Sculpture Park, Goldfields pipeline and villages. The area also features wineries and tea-rooms.

Many of the reserves are now community parks providing picnic tables, toilets and other facilities. There are large distances between some townsites, some sections are sandy in places and signage is a little limited so keep a map handy.

Many points along the trail are accessible by road. It is suitable for walking, cycling and horse riding.
