The North Head Trail is a fantastic option for walking from the city up to the Cabot Tower on Signal Hill when the weather is good. The path leads partly along the cliffs, also over wooden stairs, and offers magnificent views of the coast and the sea. Highly recommended! Only the last section is a slightly steeper climb up the stairs.

Beautifully laid out trail with wonderful views.
Sturdy shoes required 😉
