Rosemary Hill Farm Trail

"Life does not come with instructions on how to live, but it does come with trees, sunsets, smiles and laughter, so enjoy your day."
– Debbie Shapiro
After an incredible hiking weekend at Wathaba, we returned to Rosemary Hill Farm for a relaxing and breathtaking hiking experience. We were quickly reminded of the beauty of this trail and why we returned. The fragrances from the Lavender, Rosemary and Jasmine bushes are delightful.
These trails are great to enhance your pace and stamina because it is mostly flat and easy.
There are two hiking trails, the 5km and the 11km and a couple of MTB trails. There are escape routes should you wish to return to RHF
This trail is easy with minor ascents and descents, is well-marked and pet-friendly.

There is an obstacle on this trail to keep things a little interesting. You will find this just shortly after the split of the 5km and 11km.
