Avon Heath has two circular, waymarked trails to help you explore and enjoy the heathland. Both trails start from behind the Visitor Centre.
The Short Wander
The shorter of the two trails is 1km and is perfect for families with pushchairs, mobility scooter-users and those looking for a gentle, relaxing stroll. It takes about 30 minutes and the green arrows guide visitors on to the open heathland and then a tree-lined path where the birds serenade you as you pass. There is the chance of seeing the herd of British White cattle that graze here.
The Viewpoint Trail
This longer trail is 3km and the purple arrows take walkers along winding, sandy paths to the heart of the heath. It takes between 1 to 1.5 hours and involves three short climbs with the reward of lovely views at the top. There are plenty of benches along the way to sit and enjoy a moment of peace and contemplation.
