Sydney Harbour Circle Walk
Highlights
Mix of bushland, historic streets, and scenic foreshore paths
Flexible sections with easy public transport access
Overview
Sydney Harbour is one of the great harbours of the world. This 26 kilometre circle walk and over 45 kilometres of optional loops explore west of the Harbour Bridge to Hunters Hill. It is a truly magnificent walk focusing on the harbour itself – the expanse of water, the bridges, islands, urban bushland and the city skyline.
The route winds along parts of the foreshore, into bays and on to headlands, through the bush, along historic streets and over grand bridges. The Circle Walk can be walked by a fit person in approximately eight to ten hours, but with little time to savour the sights along the way. Most people will want to walk it in bite-sized sections of between two and five hours linked by public transport.
