Plan your trail experience

Ride the Pedal and Pint Trail

Using the main loop of the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail, the Pedal and Pint Trail is a spectacular circular trail which retraces 41km of the old Eastern Railway. Passing through reserves you’ll discover the individual history, story and character of the settlements that sprung up alongside the line.

What makes this trail unique is the number of old taverns, once watering holes for weary rail passengers and settlement workers, each with its own stories, character, and charm! Stop off to refuel along the way and enjoy some Perth Hills hospitality while you explore the trail by bike.

A true community effort, between 5 historic taverns and hotels, accommodation providers, cafes, and attractions, the Pedal and Pint trail will take you on a journey around Perth Hills Mundaring, using the main loop of the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail.
