Pelham Reserve Circuit

Starting from the car park off Duke Street, Toodyay, this circuit walk combines multiple walking trails to give you a near-full experience of Pelham Reserve. Offering picturesque vistas over the town and the Avon Valley, the reserve is predominantly characterized by York Gum and Jam Woodland, with Wandoo Woodland nestled in its southern corner. During the spring season, the slopes of this reserve bloom with a vibrant carpet of pink Everlasting Flowers, creating a stunning sight to behold. Additionally, Pelham Reserve boasts several intriguing features from World War II, alongside the historic dam and spillway linked to Toodyay's original water supply. Walk track guides, brochures, and further historical details about the reserve can be found at the Visitors Centre. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
