Romsey Five Mile Creek Walk

The Five Mile Creek Walk is a mostly easy 3.5km trek that can be accessed from a number of access points around the township taking in historic buildings, green spaces and parkland, sparkling creek views, rolling farmland and sweeping vistas.
There's a doozy of a hill around the half way mark on Couzens Lane that will challenge some, but the view to the West across the Ranges is worth the effort!

And if you want a shorter option, there's a number of access points to the creek walk along the way.
