Beaumont Circuit (D)

Starting from Hayward Drive, Glen Osmond, Beaumont Circuit (D) winds through the hills of Mount Osmond Reserve via mostly the Pioneer Women's Trail, following a series of narrow switchbacks up a steep hill. The well-contoured trail offers stunning views of the city and the Adelaide Plains, with heaps of wildflowers on the side. Along Caithness Avenue, walkers can see a plaque marking the first commercial quarry mined in 1838 to construct the current Supreme Court of South Australia. The trail is marked with large street signs and shared with mountain bikes. Dogs are allowed on lead. However, there are some vandalised or missing trail markers within Mount Osmond Reserve, so walkers should pay attention to stick to the trail. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
