Railton to Sheffield Rail Trail
North, TAS
At a Glance
About This Trail
The Railton to Sheffield Rail Trail is part of the long distance ‘Tasmanian Trail’ which runs the full length of the state from north to south – 480km from Devonport to Dover. Establishing a trail over this distance requires many private properties to be crossed, so be sure to leave gates as you find them. The rail trail traverses a variety of landscapes and there are very pretty views of Mount Roland as you get closer to Sheffield. It makes a good ride on mountain bikes, about one hour each way, or a longer day walk. The trail mainly follows part of the route of the former branch line from Railton to Roland, which operated between 1914 and 1957. Bushland between Railton and Sheffield near Stoodley Rd [Simon Gregory 2026] Approaching Sheffield in summer. Council is considering improving the maintenance on the rail trail [Simon Gregory 2026]
