Tollgate Brewery - Hartshorne Circular

The Tollgate Brewery is continuing their work with the Melbourne Footpaths Group to provide excellent circular walks with their third route – the 6 mile Hartshorne Circular.

The Tollgate Brewery walks are available on the Komoot app and anyone looking for a more detailed map are suggested to use OS Explorer 245 – The National Forest.

The key highlights and points of interest on this route are:
