Railway Reserves Heritage Trail

Dogs No Dogs

E-Bikes Allowed

Start at the trailhead and cycle on the gravel to Helena, timing your trip so that you arrive at the tavern at lunch time - perfect for a freshly made burger and a pint of cider.

The preferred direction of travel is hotly contested in Perth, but I don't think there's any contest. Start at Bellevue and ride anti-clockwise, experiencing the ups and downs all the way to Helena. On the return part of the loop you'll be freewheeling downhill nearly the whole way.

Railway Reserves Heritage Trail follows the route of the old Eastern Railway and is unique in providing a 41 kilometre loop entirely on railway formations. This extensive trail passes through quaint hills communities including Darlington, Parkerville and Mundaring, and covers a wide range of terrains with scenic views and numerous points of historical and natural significance.

After the rains you might be lucky to see the two small waterfalls in the John Forrest National Park section of the trail.
