Stroll around Eden
Perched as it is on a peninsula in the middle of beautiful Twofold Bay with distant wooded hills, there are a number of scenic walks around Eden (beaches aside) where you might just leave the car behind. The Gardens & Heritage Trail of Eden is the ideal start for a walking tour of Eden. Eden's Maritime Heritage Walk is the boardwalk along Aslings Beach inset with images representing Eden's maritime history. You will need this guide for the descriptions.
More distant bush walks are listed elsewhere in this section.
