Inter-City Cycleway
The Inter-City Cycleway is a shared cycling/walking track that extends
for 16 km between Hobart’s waterfront at Sullivans Cove to Box Hill
Road in Claremont with a branch that goes to the Cadbury chocolate
factory. The Cycleway has an excellent concrete surface and is suitable
for all types of bikes as well as scooters and skates. It has been
constructed on a disused railway line which means there are no steep
hills or sharp turns, making it ideal for families or novice bike riders.

Explore Hobart’s waterfront from New Norfolk
along both the eastern and western shore
to Tinderbox or South Arm to see wetlands,
bushland, sea cliffs, beaches, parks and stunning
views. Keep an eye on the estuary for dolphins,
seals, penguins and the occasional whale.
The walks offer something for everyone and
many can be enjoyed by the whole family
including the dog. Many tracks allow access for
bikes, prams and wheelchairs.
This map presents 26 tracks that border Hobart’s
beautiful Derwent estuary which extends from
New Norfolk down to the Iron Pot lighthouse.
