    The Clipper Down walk is a short and sweet out-and-back route that takes you through a woodland setting that’s peppered with wildflowers. Near the start of your walk, you’ll pass by the Bridgewater Monument—another notable attraction that harks back to 1832. The short distance and minimal elevation gain make this a fun walk for the entire family!

    Route Description for Clipper Down

    The Clipper Down kicks off by taking you to the Bridgewater Monument, which dates back to 1832. Spend some time admiring this attraction before moving to a more woodland setting. With the monument to your left, walk a few more steps to veer right to follow Duncombe Ter. Continue to follow this path until you reach a crossroad, where you’ll turn around and head back the way you came, as this is an out-and-back route.

    Getting to the Clipper Down Trailhead
