When the project is complete, visitors will have access to a safe, extended and enhanced path network, with features such as benches, information displays and newly connective paths; to further benefit path users’ well-being, educational experience and heritage landscape vantage points.

Currently, there are approximately 7.3km of paths on the grounds. Diversions have been approved by Perth and Kinross Council for the safety of visitors and to facilitate the construction work.

Please click here to see our illustrative map, which has been designed to be more interactive and user-friendly, with information on current routes, distances, surfaces and features.
