Hike overview

Fabulous views, great examples of convict-era engineering and a terrific hill to climb - the Devines Hill loop is the perfect bike ride.
Squeeze a camera into your pack for the panoramic views and spectacular sandstone walls of Devines Hill on the Old Great North Road, one of the sites within the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage Area.
There are interpretive panels along the way, so be sure to hop off your bike to find out more about the history of this area. On the way back down, you'll have to walk your bike, but that'll give you more time to enjoy the beauty of the park. It also makes a good bushwalk if you don't want to ride.

Tips

Be sure to carry adequate food, water and sunscreen.
This is an important heritage area, please leave convict sites and the landscape and vegetation of Dharug National Park as you find them
Cyclists must please keep to the Old Great North Road, consider walkers, and walk bikes down Devine's Hill
