Here the two trails criss-cross over each other, with the blue-rated Perry's Trail zig-zagging up the hillside on a smooth path. If you fancy a more challenging option, then take this red-rated section on the rock slabs more directly up the hill to rejoin the blue at the top. Both take some effort to get up the hillside, but the red is much more of a technical challenge!

Setting out on the green-rated Fairoak trail, the shared use gravel road leads you from the trail centre towards the pools through this section of magnificent tall pine trees.
