The Harbour Walk Right On Your Doorstep

The Hermitage Foreshore Track is a gentle 1.8km walk through Sydney Harbour National Park, starting at Nielsen Park in Vaucluse. You get harbour views, Shark Island, a glimpse of Strickland Estate, and a very good reason to stop at The Nielsen for coffee on the way back. Pack a picnic blanket and make an afternoon of it.
