A Grove Mill Take either the yellow path or the blue path – both eventually come out at the Old Water Mill and are at about the same level of difficulty. There is a shallow stream which runs alongside the yellow path. Dogs enjoy a swim here if it's hot, and there are trees to help keep you cool while you wait.

B Blackhill Trail Follow the marker posts carefully as you make your way through some dense forest. If you take a wrong turn, as walkers often do, your walk could end up being a lot longer than you expected. The sun may be shining, but there is plenty of damp undergrowth, so wear a tough pair of hiking boots if you don't want your feet to get wet. It isn't advisable to take small dogs on this trail.

C Fern Way The route is winding but fairly flat and doesn't require any special footwear or equipment. It is accessed by a gate with a strong bolt to keep sheep and cows in the field. The path is lined on both sides by firs and some majestic redwoods that date back to the nineteenth century. There are benches along the way, where you can rest and admire the beauty of the area.

D Bay Red Valley Be prepared to go up and down a bit on this route. The first section is uphill, then the path flattens out – but not for long, so you need to be fairly fit. The exercise is worth it, though, as there are some spectacular views across the valley. There is a viewing platform, from which you may be lucky enough to see one of the herds of deer that roam the area.

E Brownwater Trail A circular path will take you past tree and plant species from around the world that are cared for by a dedicated team of volunteers. If you bring your dog, keep it on a lead as the smaller shrubs can be easily destroyed. The path itself is open and unprotected, so be sure to wear a hat or you could get sunburnt.
