Have you taken a ride along the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail? Also known as the Pedal and Pint Trail, this foodie adventure through Perth Hills Mundaring is beloved by outdoor enthusiasts and food lovers alike. Last year, the iconic route expanded its offerings beyond the heritage pubs that made it famous.
The enhanced trail map now features additional “stay, play, and café” options, creating more opportunities to experience the natural beauty and warm hospitality of the Perth Hills. Whether you’re planning a day trip or a weekend getaway, the trail offers something for everyone.
The Pedal and Pint Trail is a brilliant way to see the heritage pubs of the Mundaring region from a fresh perspective. As you ride along the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail, you can stop at one, two, or all of the historic pubs that dot the bushland. The complete trail loop connects The Mount Helena Tavern, Sawyers Valley Tavern, The Mundaring Hotel, The Parkerville Tavern and The Mahogany Inn and Distillery – or simply choose your own adventure!
A notable addition to the trail is The Mahogany Inn and Distillery, enhancing the Pedal and Pint experience with locally crafted spirits alongside traditional pub fare.
The Mount Helena Tavern to Parkerville Tavern section is an easy way to dip your toe into the trail. This 7km stretch is flat and accessible, ideal for families with children and casual cyclists. Start with a hearty pub lunch at either tavern before setting off on your adventure along the wide, gravel path. This section takes between 30 minutes to 1.5 hours one-way, is dog-friendly, and even has hitching posts at Mount Helena Tavern for equestrian explorers.
Too early for a beer? Early risers can now swap the traditional pint for a hot coffee at one of Mundaring’s charming cafés. For those wanting to fully immerse themselves in the Perth Hills experience, boutique accommodation options have been added to the map, allowing you to extend your adventure without rushing.
Whether you’re riding with little kids or friends that are serious about cycling, the Pedal and Pint trail delivers an authentic Perth Hills adventure that’s accessible year-round. Pack your water bottle, pump up your bike tyres, and discover why this trail has become a favourite way to experience the natural beauty and heritage highlights of Perth Hills Mundaring.
