Russell Heritage Trail and Bush Walks

The Russell Heritage Trail is a series of walks around Russell. Being such a historic place there are so many points of interest in such a small area.

The Russell Heritage Trail provides 4 separate trail options from a simple walk around town to day treks. The walks sometimes pass thru light bush and they can reach some excellent lookout points.

Here are the walks in detail. Visit the information centre under the Bay of Islands Swordfish Club or the Russell Museum for a trail map.
