Viking Trail, Sherwood Pines

Highlight • Trail

Also known as the Viking Trail, this is a fairly family-friendly trail that skirts around the edge of the forest. It's not overly technical but you do need decent grip …

A super handy section of disused railway that links Route 6 in Sherwood Pines with the Southwell Trail. It runs for a number of pan-flat kilometres, making it the ultimate gravel grind on cruise control.
