Vanguard Way

Vanguard Way is a 27.2 km Regional Hiking hiking trail covering an interesting stretch of countryside.

Covering 27.2 km, this demanding trail is best tackled by experienced walkers in good condition. Budget roughly 6 hours and 3 minutes or consider splitting it across two days.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start. Follow the VGW waymarkers throughout to stay on the official trail line.

This trail forms part of the Regional Walking Network (RWN), linking local communities and natural features across the region. Waymarking is managed at the regional level.
