Wednesday Ainslie walk - heritage cottages and city views

Come explore one of Canberra's oldest suburb, Ainslie, taking a meandering route through quiet, pretty streets and parks.

Ainslie features heritage listed cottages dating from the 1920s, intermixed with very modern houses, and street tree plantings from the 1940s. We'll pass through a variety of modest, informal parks, as well as a brief stretch through the Mount Ainslie nature park.

This is a mainly on-leash walk, but there is a large off leash oval at the end of the walk for our dogs to have some free play time.

The walk starts and ends at the Ainslie shops featuring a dog friendly café/pub, the Edgar Inn.

This is an easy walk of around 4 km, with only one uphill section at the beginning of the walk. It should take around 90 minutes to complete with a group. The route includes a mixture of paved paths, dirt tracks and cross country walking across grass.

There's parking on Edgar Street and more behind the Ainslie shops.

You can find more information about this walk and a google map of the route on our website.

Important info:

• You walk entirely at your own risk and you are wholly responsible for your own, and your dog's, behaviour; by rsvping 'yes' to this walk you understand and agree to this condition.
• All off-leash activities are at the discretion of the walk guide. If for any reason they feel any dog should be back on lead, please respect their decision, as they are trying to ensure everyone has a pleasant experience.
• We ask $7.50 per adult to be paid by card to the guide at the beginning of the walk - children (under 18) walk free of charge. The charge helps cover our meetup subscription, insurance, internet, petrol, and other costs. We will gladly refund this if you are not happy for any reason.
