If you are looking for a more leisurely bushwalk with not too many ups and downs this is a good list of walks to do. Or if you are trying to get a friend hooked on bushwalking without wearing them out, this might be a good plan - we recommend taking a lot of yummy food to eat on the way too.
These bushwalks are also good for getting little kids into bushwalking. All bushwalks are 5km and located on the Central Coast so they are not too far away. It includes a lot of short bushwalks near Gosford.
We also have a guide to Wildflowers on the Central Coast because there are so many stunning flowers in the bush here.
Soothing autumn light
Hidden in the tall fern walls
Here there be fairies
A great walk for families, with a swimming spot and only a short walk. You'll feel revived and alive after this walk - it is magic. There is also a picnic area at the top.
This is a beautiful little walk, it is dog friendly and has a little creek playground with flying fox that the kids will love. This is flat and good for beginners, it is accessible and is great for prams too.
The best thing about this walk though is that you will most likely see kangaroos. You'll see them on the circuit, on the road to the circuit, near the RFS and even in the playground itself.
This is a beautiful little walk, it is very short and great for kids with young families, just take them there put them in a wetsuit and let them play in the little river and the sand.
This is also one of the best places for an overnight camp on the coast with only a small walk in so it is a great walk to get you into overnight hiking. You can book using the National Parks website here.
The area has 7 campsites, a clean composting toilet, a free BBQ and very unusual for national parks, bins.
