Overall rating
  • The King Falls Circuit Walk was a delightful one-hour loop that surprised me with its variety. The 1km trail took me past cool grass trees, through a sunny casuarina forest, and finally into a damp fern gully. The well-maintained path with boardwalks and some inclines made it easy to navigate, and the cascading King Falls (when flowing) were a beautiful reward. Whether you continue onwards or loop back via the charming fern gully, this walk is perfect for a nature fix in Arthurs Seat.
