Why this Hike

This hike close to the city is perfect for both a little bit of history from the many different landmarks and the harbour views. With a relatively easy to navigate path, this hike can be the perfect way to spend a morning getting outdoors.

Track Notes & Overview

Starting from the carpark at the end of Bradleys Head Road and near Bradleys Head Fort this hike follows the Bradleys Head Walking Track as it winds around the head following the coast. Looking out towards Sydney harbour, you will walk a few hundred metres on the boardwalk before reaching the stairs to Athol Hall. From the hall the walk continues to climb up the hill to the Athol Hall Carpark and then re-joins the walking track with the water now on your left. The walk continues along this path before a short section back on Bradleys Head Road until you reach the carpark you started your walk from.
