Walking Brighton: the local loops
Brighton Beach Foreshore Trail — Enjoy views of the Derwent River and surrounding coastline as you stroll along the paved foreshore. Lead-on throughout unless council signage says otherwise. Benches and shade appear often enough for a slow dog.
Pontville Park Loop — A gentle loop around a community park with open green spaces and some mature trees. Lead-on throughout unless council signage says otherwise. Benches and shade appear often enough for a slow dog.
Jordan River Levee Walk — Follows the levee bank of the Jordan River, offering views of the river and adjacent rural landscapes. Lead-on throughout unless council signage says otherwise. A coffee stop is never far on the way back.
