Kea Trail 09A

This addition to route 09 turns the latter to a circular route passing by the old mills of the Kea. This route has a smooth slope. It can either be an alternative route of 09, or the two routes can be combined to achieve a relatively large circular route

At 3.9 km, this is a short, accessible outing suitable for most fitness levels. Expect to complete it in around 52 minutes at a comfortable pace.

As a linear trail, this route has distinct start and end points. Return transport is worth arranging in advance unless you plan to walk back the same way. The trail is officially waymarked as 09A, so look out for the trail markers along the way.

This is a Local Walking Network (LWN) trail — a community-level route perfect for exploring the immediate surroundings, popular with locals and visitors alike.
