Beaufort - Camp Hill Walk
Take a lovely 2.9km stroll on this great easy track around Camp Hill. Start at the lovely picnic area and proceed around the track to a picturesque views of Beaufort from above.
Take a drive up King Street toward Raglan and start the walk at the base of Camp Hill Road. Continue so the BBQ and picnic area is on your left. As you head up the track you will come to a fork in the road that heads to the look out point. Take a quick tour of the look out and snap a photo. Now back out to the Camp Hill Road and head north east on the track until you come to the junction of Oyster Track Rd. At the Oyster Track road sign verve left. Stay on the track continuing to a fork in the road, this time taking the right prong. From this point forward continue veering right until you connect again with Camp Hill Road which will take you back to the top of the picnic area. This is a great wide track that is suitable for horses and kids on bikes.

Review:
It's a decent walk but we actually found it quite difficult to follow the route at point 3 where it does a loop. Maybe this point is where there is a half-oval track on the left of the gravel road.
The highlight is definitely the lookout with views over the town.
