Melbourne Trails

The majority of Melbourne is quite flat, with only a few significant exceptions; as a result, it is a good location for bicycles. You don't have to be a Lycra-clad fanatic to enjoy a bike ride in Melbourne; the city's many bike paths are popular with riders of all skill levels.

Even better, these bike paths span everything from seaside boardwalks to winding river paths, practically insuring a fantastic day trip. Mount up and fasten your spurs! Like to walk? Here is a list of the best trails in Melbourne where you can go for a stroll and take in the sights.

Although some may refer to it as a "bike path," this trail is actually a "shared path" where cyclists must yield to pedestrians and ride on the left side. It is courteous to recognise approaching cyclists with a wave of the hand and to not hog the path too much if they ring their bell to let you know they are approaching.

Trail That Runs From Lilydale to Warburton

• One-way Distance: 40km
• Trail Difficulty: Medium
  

The Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail is almost forty kilometres long and is a popular route for cyclists, hikers, and equestrians connecting the two cities. The track follows the route of a decommissioned railway through the beautiful Yarra Valley, starting just beyond the Lilydale Railway Station and terminating in Warburton.

The path's rich history makes it ideal for city dwellers with a hankering for nature. The trail heads out from behind Lilydale Railway Station and through the Yarra Valley on an old rail bed.

As it travels along the valley, it takes in the beautiful scenery of forests, vineyards, and farmland. It's well-kept as well, but when the weather's nice, it may get crowded with people out walking and riding horses. If you find that the journey is too much, you may always make a weekend out of it by staying in Warburton and returning on the following Sunday (Government regulations prohibit overnight stays in Victoria at the present time, so keep that in mind.)

The Victorian Railways linked Warburton and Healesville to Lilydale through distinct but parallel branch lines. The rail trail that runs between Lilydale and Warburton has been operational for a long time.

A significant portion of Stage 1A of the Yarra Valley Trail, beginning at Yering, has been completed. At some point, this path will join the communities of Lilydale, Yarra Glen, and Healesville.

One of the most popular train routes in all of Australia is the one connecting Lilydale and Warburton. It starts in Lilydale, where the metropolitan rail network ends, and travels through increasingly rural areas before arriving in Warburton, a mountain resort town.

The Warburton section of the Rail Trail is connected to the Lilydale train station via the Red Bridge at Lilydale, which spans the six lanes of the Maroondah Highway. The traffic lights at the junctions of York Rd, Monbulk Rd, and Birmingham Rd in Mt. Evelyn are functioning properly at this time.

At the trailhead hubs in Lilydale and Warburton, visitors can take advantage of benches, bike racks, interpretive boards, and drinking fountains.

While many stations' buildings have been removed over time, their original platforms have been preserved and replica station signs have been installed. The old Lilydale station building is currently located in the Yarra Junction Museum.

After over a century of service, the railway line connecting Lilydale and Yarra Glen was shut down in 1980, and Stage 1 of the Yarra Valley Trail now follows its path. Both Yarra Glen and Lilydale were within the service area of this particular line.

The line begins at Beresford Road in Lilydale, where the original railway did as well, and continues north into Yarra Glen.

Merri Creek Trail

• One-way Distance: 21km
• Trail Difficulty: Medium

A beautiful pathway for pedestrians and cyclists, this path follows Merri Creek in northern Melbourne. It's a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the trail is wide enough for walking, running, or riding a bike. It takes about 30 minutes to cycle the flat 7.5 kilometres from the tranquil Abbotsford Convent to CERES Community Environment Park.

You shouldn't miss the Merri Creek Labyrinth, a community-built mini-Stonehenge with a Wishing Tree where guests can affix their private hopes and dreams.

Capital City Trail

• Loop Distance: 29km
• Trail Difficulty: Easy-Medium

Bicyclists in Melbourne have, for a significant amount of time, chosen to ride this core loop.

Covering ground at the Melbourne Zoo, Southbank, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, as well as sections of the Merri Creek Trail, the Inner Circle Rail Trail, Moonee Ponds Creek Trail, and Yarra Trail,  this circuit has something for everyone. Now is your chance to set sail in whichever direction you like.

Main Yarra Trail

• One-way Distance: 22km
• Trail Difficulty: Easy-Medium

This track, which begins in Eltham and continues down the course of the Yarra River to Fairfield, is a pleasant way to spend an afternoon on two wheels. The terrain is very even and there are many shady passageways to explore along the route. The trail is paved as it approaches the city, and along the way you must visit the Heide Museum of Modern Art and the Fairfield Boathouse, a colonial-era establishment famous for its scones.

Distance between Eltham and Fairfield is 22 kilometres, and while it is slightly easier going downhill, it is otherwise a flat route that follows the meandering Yarra. From (or to) Eltham train station, it's possible to take a short out-and-back excursion on the Main Yarra Trail, which connects to the Capital City Trail and continues on for another 18 kilometres to the Melbourne central business district. You might also take advantage of the two-way ride.

A sealed bike path runs along the perimeter of the parklands closer to the city, passing by sports fields, golf courses, and suburban neighbourhoods. Typical Australian Wattle and Eucalyptus trees can be seen further river, along with compacted earth. Not even a cafe can be found along the bike path. Perfect for bringing along on a picnic!

The Yarra River and surrounding bushland are a big part of what makes this cycling path so appealing. The suspension bridge over the Yarra in the area of Templestowe is a popular attraction. We looked down into the creek below and saw two platypus playing. Wow, what a nice surprise!

The Diamond Valley Railway, located just south of Eltham, is a fun and unique attraction for kids and adults alike. There are about 2 kilometres of lines that snake through tunnels and bush and a plethora of puffing trains, complete with real drivers, whistles, and crossing signals.

A lot of care and attention has been put into this, and everybody (not just kids) should experience it. On top of being inexpensive, it also runs on Sundays and holidays.

Half Moon Bay to St Kilda

• One-way Distance: 13km
• Trail Difficulty: Easy

Being in the heart of the city, we sometimes forget that Bass Strait is right outside our windows. This scenic route, which begins at St. Kilda Beach and continues down the coast as it arcs around the bay to the south-east, is a great way to take in the scenery and smell the salt air. There are no strenuous ascents, and the views are Instagram-worthy.

Hikers of all skill levels will enjoy the 14.6-kilometer Bay Trail from Brighton to Half Moon Bay in Victoria, Australia, because to its relaxed atmosphere, abundance of wildlife, and relative lack of crowds.

The trail is used by those interested in a wide range of pursuits, from jogging and road cycling to birdwatching. Visitors with dogs are welcome on this trail, but they must be kept on a leash at all times.

Hobsons Bay Coastal Trail

• One-way Distance: 23km
• Trail Difficulty: Easy

If you want to enjoy a coastal bike ride in Melbourne, it is not required to live in the southern suburbs of the city. Along the tranquil Hobsons Bay Coastal Trail, which stretches for a total of 23 kilometres along the water, exploring the western suburbs of Melbourne on two wheels is one of the best ways to get the most out of the experience.

One can enjoy some of the most beautiful scenery that the western suburbs have to offer by walking along this trail. Your journey ought to get underway close to Scienceworks, just downhill from the Westgate Bridge; from there, you need to head to Williamstown, Altona, and Skeleton Creek.

The Williamstown Botanic Gardens and tracing a circuitous path around Cherry Lake are both wonderful options for side trips that can be taken along the route. The town of Williamstown is home to both of these locations.

Popular Melbourne Spots

Grab brunch at Higher Ground

Higher Ground is a beautiful café-restaurant housed in a historic, once-bustling power plant, and it is often regarded as the best place in town to enjoy brunch. Why bother coming here, you may well wonder; in Melbourne, brunch is king. There is no way around it. In this regard, Higher Ground is a great option. The weekend is the busiest time, so expect waits. Put on some comfy shoes, grab a book to read, and get some coffee and a pastry from the street vendor.

The people behind Kettle Black and Top Paddock have taken on a massive new project with this café-slash-restaurant.

Higher Ground's breakfast, lunch, and dinner are soaring to new heights thanks to the restaurant's three levels, 130 seats, and team of savvy, unflappable wait staff. Supernormal, Jacques Reymond, and Pope Joan are just a few of the 16 chefs at this restaurant.

The arched windows and hanging plants on the mezzanine are stunning. You should use the restroom even if you don't think you need to. What a stunning couple they make.

To top it all off, there's a poached egg on top of some puffed rice. Thin slices of cured kingfish, which are mild and milky in flavour and come dressed in nori and ponzu, are a nice touch but are not required.

The short rib Wagyu roll is, to put it bluntly, fantastic. Buns made in the form of brioche are home to juicy slices of pork and a cooling thatch of shredded cucumber, carrots, and bean shoots. If you're missing anything, go no further than the coriander leaves and red chilli peppers.
